Have had a dry irritating cough for 3 days now, im 28 weeks. Scared to take any random syrup without asking. What home things worked for u all to get some relief? will check with doc also.
Beta, for a small cough warm water with honey, and steam, are very safe. Saltwater gargle also helps a lot. But please dont take any cough syrup without asking your doctor.
My mother made me warm haldi milk and turkey it eased my throat. Steam was my best friend. For anything stronger I always checked with my doctor first.
Not all cough syrups are safe in pregnancy, so dont pick one off the shelf. If its just mild, try warm fluids. But if you have fever or breathlessness with it, see your gynac quickly.
Honey water, lots of warm fluids and rest when you can. If it drags on more than a few days or you need medicine, a quick call to the doctor for a safe option is the way, dont self prescribe.
