Cough?

[charliebear]

I've had a terrible cough for about 2 weeks now Sounds like I smoke 40 a day!

Is there anything I can take? Dont want to really take paracetamol as I dont have a temp etc and the cough is the only symptom.

Hi Charliebear, sorry don't know much about meds.
Are you sure it's not another symptom of being preggo? I've have a cold and a cough that arrives every eve like clockwork and has done since week 4.
Although, if you're sounding like a smoker might be worth speaking to the pharmacist or someone. At least it sounds like it's not strep throat as I think there's no coughing with that. xx

I had a cough for about a week and i just had some cough drops... i did a quick online check and it said they were fine in moderation. Plus i got to eat sweets... bonus!

I was thinking it could be a pregnancy symptom?

I have some mints I could suck. I dont like many cough sweets.

May pop to the GP after Easter if its still bothering me, just to be sure. Thanks Ladies x

I caught a cold almost as soon as I got my BFP... I had a hacking cough as well, managed to shift it after about a week and then it came back!

I am sure our immune systems are just otherwise occupied at the moment? But do go to the GP if you're worried

You definitely get a stuffy nose during pregnancy because your capillaries swell but that doesn't help to explain your cough, prob just time of the year and this weird weather xxx
