So, I've had this stupid cold/flu for the past week and now the coughing part is driving me insane. I can't get any rest or sleep and I'm exhausted. My body is exhausted. My throat hurts, my chest hurts, my stomach hurts. Bubs goes on a kicking frenzy after every coughing fit.
Is there anything at all that I can take to relieve it even just a bit? It's worst at night time. I've tried Vicks Vapodrop lozenges, cold drinks, hot drinks, lemon drinks, honey drinks, sticking my head over a bowl of steamy hot water, rubbing Eukybear on my throat and chest. What else is there? I'm getting desperate and very tired!
No help here either, just asked the same kind of thing in another thread... lol
But big and hope your feeling better soon.
I am trying some soothers, hot tea in the morning, plenty of water and orange juice, my PG multi's and hoping today some fresh fruit etc might help... lol
Oh and for anyone that says get some rest... hehehe I WISH... lol so wont say it to you either as i know it's not always that easy!
id go and see your chemist, they may be able to suggest something that wont cross the placenta that the worst part of pregnancy and breastfeeding..... not been able to take medicines
I had a similar problem earlier in my pregnancy. The pharmacist said there was NOTHING I could take. I ended up going to the GP and they prescribed ventolin (like an asthama puffer) which gave me some reflief. Ventolin is very safe in pregnancy.
Yes coughing while pg is horrible - my poor poor pelvic floor was exhausted. Hope that doesn't happen to you....
What can I take for a cough?
