Bad cough since 3 days yaar and MIL keeps saying take honitus its ayurvedic. Im in second trimester, just not sure about cough syrups right now. Anyone used it during pregnancy?
Oh sweetie, dealing with a cough while pregnant is so exhausting, I feel your pain. Honestly, any kind of syrup, even Ayurvedic ones like Honitus, should only be taken after asking your doctor. Take care of yourself, try some warm ginger water ghar pe.
Honestly, even for herbal cough syrups, it's best to check during your regular doctor follow-ups. When I had thyroid issues, I realized how sensitive the body becomes, so I never took anything without my gynac's green light.
I recently delivered and actually had a horrible dry cough in my second trimester. My gynac told me to avoid Honitus and instead gave me a specific safe syrup and told me to do steam twice a day. Definitely check with your doctor once.
Double the babies means double the confusion, so I stopped taking anything without checking! Honitus seems natural, but please ask your doctor first. Till then, good old warm water with honey and steam inhalation is your best friend.
Even though it's herbal, my hospital care team strictly told me not to take any over-the-counter syrups like Honitus without confirming. I just called my doctor's coordinator on their helpline, and they prescribed a safe cough remedy immediately. Better to ask your hospital staff clearly.
I know how scary it feels when you have a bad cough and you're scared of taking any medicine. Even with Honitus, which is mostly herbal, the anxiety of 'is it safe' is totally real. Please just call your gynac once, they will give you a safe option and you will feel so much lighter.
