When coughing makes your head feel like it's about to explode

[Cagliostro]

HOW do you deal with it? It's driving me crazy. I have had a cold/cough for a few weeks, GP said it was viral and the nasty green phlegm bit only lasted a couple of days. But the cough is still here and I'm really struggling. Even trying to cough gently is putting huge pressure on my head, like it's in a vice.

And the kicker is, I'm pregnant so many medicines are out of the question.

I don't know if there's any point in going back to the doctor really?

I know it's a bit whoo whoo, but it does actually work and you can drain your own face.
