I've had a bit if a cough and cold for about 4 weeks. In the last two days the cough has taken over my life. I actually cannot stop coughing. Every other breath is a cough.
I am 15 weeks pregnant and still feeling a bit sicky at times. Every few coughs is a really violent one that makes me retch and quite often throw up.
I think it is a dry tickler cough - it's not producing anything. I have barely slept for two nights now
Have been to the pharmacist who said the only thing I could have us glycerin, which tastes nice, but doesn't seem to help
I have tried inhaling menthol stuff, which just made me sick
Anyone got any other suggestions for something that might give me some relief?
Thanks
