Caught a bad cold and cant stop coughing since two days, im 14 weeks. Scared to take anything on my own without asking. What home things did u all do that are safe? planning to call my gynac too.
Home steam and rest for a mild cold is okay, but never pop random cold medicines in pregnancy. If u have fever, breathing trouble or it drags on, call ur doctor. Only take what she approves.
I caught a cold mid pregnancy and steam inhalation plus rest were my saviours. Warm fluids and gargling with salt water helped my throat. I didnt touch any medicine without asking my gynac first.
Beta, warm water, haldi doodh and steam helped us a lot for a normal cold. Ginger tulsi kaadha in small amounts is soothing too. But if fever comes or it stays many days, please see ur doctor and dont take any tablet on ur own.
