Been having a nasty cough for 3 days now and its not letting me sleep, im 16 weeks. scared to just pick up any syrup on my own. will check with doc but wanted to know what others did during cough.
Dont buy random syrup yaar. Some are fine in pregnancy, some are not, only the doctor knows which. For mild cough i did warm water with honey and ginger, that helped. For anything more, call your doc.
Beta for a small cough try warm water, tulsi, a bit of honey and ginger, ghar ka nuskha works for mild ones. But if cough is heavy or with fever dont depend on home stuff, show the doctor and take only what they give.
Rule of thumb in pregnancy, no medicine without the doctor okaying it, and that includes cough syrups. There are pregnancy safe options your gynac can give. The over the counter ones often arent tested for pregnancy, so just one quick call to the doctor sorts it.
I wouldnt take any cough syrup on my own during pregnancy. When i had a bad cough i called my gynac and she prescribed a safe one. Pls dont pick one off the medical shop yourself, some have ingredients not great for pregnancy.
