Been coughing a lot since few days and at night it gets worse, not able to sleep. Im in 2nd trimester and dont want to take any syrup without knowing. Planning to ask my gynac but wanted to hear from you all first.
Haan, cough medicine... Bada confusing hota hai na pregnancy mein. Sach mein, kuch bhi apne mann se mat lena. Best hai apne gynac ko phone kar lo. Woh hi bata sakte hain kaunsi dawa safe hai. Warna ghar ke nuskhe try kar sakte ho jaise garam paani mein shahad. Par medicine ke liye toh doc hi sahi hai.
Oh god, a cough during pregnancy is the absolute worst, right? I'm already tired, and then a cough makes it impossible to sleep. My doc strictly said no OTC meds without asking first. I've been sticking to warm water with honey and ginger. Works okay for a bit, but for actual medicine, pls ask your gynac, don't risk it.
Honestly, please don't take any cough medicine without consulting your gynac. I had some complications in my pregnancy, so I was always extra careful. Even for a simple cough, it's best to call your doctor first. They will know exactly what is safe for you and your baby. Taking the wrong medicine can be really risky.
This is a good thing to know in advance, even for those of us planning. I've heard that most over-the-counter medicines aren't safe during pregnancy. So I think definitely asking the gynac is the only way to be sure. It feels like we have to be so careful with everything when pregnant.
