Durotuss Expectorant will be good for you. Cat A so safe in pregnancy. It is a combination of a cough suppresant ( to stop that tickle) and a mucolytic to break that phlegm. It's in a green bottle. Also advised by my ob. HTH.
I was told to drink Aloe Vera juice. "It makes for a healthy baby and a healthier you". Sorry that's what it said on the bottle. It was gross but it worked.
i was told not to take any (same when bfeeding). i guess maybe in diff places diff things are available so it is worth asking but i personally would prefer to put up with it (if it is not 'serious') and try more natural methodslike honey and lemon or whatever...
best of luck though, you must feel awful!
Have you considered a homeopathic remedy for your cough? Homeopathic medicine is much gentler than pharmaceutical medication and is safe to take during pregnancy.
Your local health food store may stock some, otherwise a registered natural therapist qualified in homeopathy can make up a remedy specifically for your individual constitution.
Me & my 3 children have been diagnosed with whooping cough and the Dr wrote out a prescription for something that she said was ok for me to take too even though I am pregnant.
I will ask the pharmasist tomorrow if it definitely is ok though and I will then let you know what it is called... I am guessing it is prescription only though. It turns out that I can't have it anyway because it contains codeine and I am allergic, but oh well.
