Im in my 5th month and have a dry cough since 3-4 days, throat thoda itchy also. Scared to take anything random na, so wanted to know what u all did for cough without medicine. Any safe home remedy that worked?
You can easily manage this at home with warm fluids. Ginger tulsi tea without too much caffeine is very soothing. Just keep yourself hydrated and rest as much as possible, you will feel better soon.
Yaar, pregnancy me cough is so annoying, actually sleep gets totally ruined. I used to have warm haldi doodh at night, it gave me so much relief. Try to avoid cold water and ice creams completely for a few days, ok?
Look, cough is common but you can't just pop pills now. Try steam with a drop of nilgiri oil, and drink warm water throughout the day. If it doesn't get better in 3-4 days, just call your doctor and get a safe syrup prescribed.
Honestly, don't take any over-the-counter cough syrups without asking your gynac first. I just stuck to steam inhalation twice a day and warm water. It takes time but it's the safest way.
I had a bad cough right around my delivery time and coughing with C-section stitches is so painful, trust me. Please treat it early with simple steam and hot soups. Holding a pillow tightly against your tummy helps if you have to cough.
Warm water with honey and a tiny bit of ginger juice worked like magic for me. Also gargling with salt water before sleeping really clears the throat. Gharelu nuskhe are best for this, no need to rush for medicines.
