Grim Chesty Cough

[0FrillyKnickers0]

Hi All!

I'm 27 weeks pregnant and I have the most hideous cough, sore throat and headache which paracetemol won't touch! I've been drinking pints of water each day and that doesn't seem to help the headache. When I go to bed at night my cough gets a tickly and it's been disturbing my sleep.

Can anyone suggest any remedies? I've tried hot water with honey and lemon, but that only works for a few minutes!!

Thanks all!

I get exercise induced asthma (so shouldn't really get asthma at all these days ). I had a persistent tickle cough that I couldn't shift and tried all of the usual pregnancy-friendly remedies (honey and lemon etc). Went to the doctors in the end and he told me to use my inhaler 8 times a day. I did and it was gone within a day.

Definitely worth seeing your GP to see if they can help. Good luck!

I had what sounds like the same as u op ( a virus according to the drs) he gave me and inhaler then if that didn't work to use anti biotics. I persevered then had to give in and take them as I was up all night coughing until I was almost sick. Not nice! May be worth heading to the drs!
