I have a really bad cough that wont go and someone suggested ascoril. But im pregnant, 4 months now, and not sure if cough syrups are safe. Planning to ask my gynac but wanted experiences first.
Cough syrups can have a mix of things and not all are pregnancy safe, so I wouldnt self prescribe ascoril. Show it to your gynac and let her pick a safe alternative. For a mild cough, warm water with honey is gentler to start.
Please dont take any cough syrup like this on your own, some have ingredients not advised in pregnancy. My doctor gave me a specific safe syrup when I had a bad cough. Always ask first.
For a small cough I first tried warm water, honey and steam which helped. But for syrups please dont guess, ask the doctor. A cough that lingers or comes with fever needs a check anyway.
