Dry tickling cough - is there anything I can take?
I've developed a dry, tickling cough that just won't let up. It's near impossible to sleep in this heat, and add to that this cough, I am feeling quite sorry for myself at the moment!
I've gargled with salt water, but is there anything else I could try?
I'm 15 weeks.
Thanks

A spoonful of honey might help?

it's awful being sick when pregnant or at the best of times.
Unfortunately here is no a lot ou can take, I wasn't even allowed the strong stepsil lozenges! You can have-the honey and lemon ones though.
Hope you are better soon.

Have a chat to the pharmacist about whether there are any safe medications.
Honey works well, and you might get a more soothing effect from having it in a hot drink.

There was a wise woman who was on here that swore by a honey and onion cough remedy. If you google it there are heaps of recipes.

I swear by the honey and onion remedy! If it seems to hard to digest try the good old honey and lemon drink

is it like you can feel mucous running down you're throat? or just a really dry cough?
