All yesterday I felt like I had cotton wool in my throat that I couldn't get rid of then last night I started with a barking cough. This morning I woke up nearly unable to catch my breath and it was bloody frightening. Since getting up I can catch my breath but only just and barking cough is still there. Dp is coming home from work and i'm planning on ringing the doctors when it opens. I am also nearly 31 weeks pregnant. I don't have asthma but ds was given a reliever inhaler when he had bronchiolitis could I use this to see if it helps?
