HELP ME - Can't stop coughing

[BIBIBOO]

Is there ANYTHING I can take while pregnant to stop or at least ease my terrible cough? It's hurting so much it feels like everytime I cough my head's going to explode

I had one that was making me actually throw up I was coughing so much. I went to the docs and she gave me some linctus stuff that is ok to take during pregnancy.

At home I had tried various cough sweets, honey and lemon and sipping drinks, but I really had got the stage where something a bit stronger was needed.

Hope you feel better soon.

YAY! At least there is light at the end of the tunnel - off to pharmacist straight after work for some advice! Thanks beansprout

Good luck Bibiboo, hope you get something soothing and feel better

BIBIBOO - I feel for you. I coughed non-stop when I was pregnant with DD, turns out I had developed Asthma. Those blue inhalers worked a treat.

I think the only cough mixture you can use while pregnant is 'simple linctus' which tastes wonderful(!) but made me cough more.

Hope you find something.

I have a result! Went to Tesco and asked pharmacist who couldn't really recomment anything other than their Blackcurrant and glycerin pastiles. They didn't stop my cough but tasted lovely and soothed my throat a treat! Still coughing but without as much pain now.

that's great. When are you due, Bibiboo??

Due 19th October - oh that seems such a long way away!

I feel like such a wuss now - complaining about a cough when some of you had bronchitis! Still, it's all over now - just a few tickly "AHERMS!" late at night. Honey worked a treat, soothing throat and all that sugar gave me a bit of energy to do something else and forget the cough for a few minutes at least!
