Caught a bad cold and im coughing quite a lot since 3 days. Im 5 months along and everytime i cough hard i get a little scared it might affect the baby or strain my tummy. is this something to worry about? planning to tell my gynac too.
Beta, for a mild cough warm water, a little honey and steam used to help us. Cover yourself well and rest. But if there is fever or it stays many days, show the doctor and dont take any syrup without asking.
A normal cough from cold isnt dangerous to the baby, the baby is well cushioned. Warm fluids, steam and rest usually help. But if its lasting long, with fever or breathing trouble, do see your doctor and dont take cough syrups on your own.
Mild cough is okay but please dont take any medicine without asking your gynac. If it comes with high fever or breathlessness, get checked. Better safe in pregnancy.
