Cough refusing to go

I've had a bad cold recently, which I felt full of for about a week. The next 2 weeks (up to today) I've still got a very bad cold and a runny nose - clear mucous rather than green so no sign of infection.

What can I do to deal with this cough? Not sure if it's relevant, but I recently found out I'm pregnant, just under 4 weeks so very early stages yet.

Only thing to try is to naturally boost your immune system to help beat it. Vitamin C in oranges/clemantines may help, along with Lemon & Ginger herbal tea (ginger has lots of good healing properties). Garlic is also supposed to be good too.

I also have this lingering cough and runny nose. If its any consolation I've paracetamol and ibuprofen don't seem to make any difference for me.

Thankyou, I'll give them a try :)
