Cough with phlegm

Hello, sorry for the TMI but I am sick of having this cough, I had a cold 6 days a go and the cough started after 3 days (dry at first). Should i be worried for the baby form the coughing pressure? When should I see the doctor, I preferred not to take any medicine and leave it all for the natural remedies.

Depending on the colour of the phlegm you should see the doctor. Perhaps pop in to a chemist and ask their advice if you don't want to make an appointment with the GP if you're not sure but it's probably safest to make sure it's not an infection, you could be left sick for weeks (or worse, develop pneumonia) and that's the last thing you need. There shouldn't be any danger to the baby, you might end up with sore tummy muscles from all the coughing though!

Honey and lemon is a lifesaver for a sore throat and cough 😊
