This dry khansi is not leaving me since almost a week, im 20 weeks. At night it gets worse and I cant sleep properly. Dont want to take anything without asking doc. What home remedies worked for u all?
I am in my 23rd week and also down with a dry cough right now! Did anyone else feel like their lower tummy hurts when coughing? I'm just taking warm ginger water for now.
Having a bad cough while pregnant is so stressful because you worry about the baby with every cough. Warm water with honey really helped soothe my throat, but please ask your doctor before taking any cough syrups.
Steam inhalation and warm water are best during this time. Make sure you don't take any over-the-counter medicines, and keep up with your regular doctor visits to check your overall health.
I always prefer home tips like warm salt water gargles and ginger tea for mild dry cough. But if your cough is very severe or you have a fever, please consult your doctor immediately instead of waiting.
Coughing with a heavy belly is a whole workout in itself, haha! Stick to warm water gargles with salt and steam. Don't go popping any cough syrups without your gynac's green signal.
I got a severe dry cough in my second month and panicked thinking the constant coughing would hurt the baby. My doctor reassured me that the baby is completely safe inside, and suggested simple steam inhalation which worked like magic.
My MIL made me a warm kadha of ginger, tulsi, and honey which really helped my throat. Just avoid hard cough drops from the chemist unless your doctor specifically recommends them.
