How can i get rid of this cough?

[AbbyJ]

I'm so fed up, have had a horrible cough for about 5 days now, it's pretty bad in the daytime, my head hurts every time I cough, but it's really awful at night. I constantly feel like there's something in my lungs, like when you inhale your own spit you know? I keep coughing up phlem which makes me throw up and at night i can't sleep and end up coughing and throwing up at al hours, it's a bloody nightmare. Course being pregnant I can't take anything, and there's no point going to dr as i havn't got a temp and it's not a rattly cough so not a chest infection. Does anyone have any good home remedies?

I just feel like it's been one thing after another, i had really bad cold in November before i got preg, then had flu all over Xmas despite having the flu jab, and now I'm ill again! My 2 youngest had a little bit of a cough last week but it didn't come to anything, hubby and the other 2 didn't even get that and here i am coughing my guts up! I'd only just stopped feeling sick too It doesn't help that I'm a complete wimp about being ill, I hate it!

Same here... its horrible,,, starting with blocked nose and dry throat,, throat gone left with blocked nose and bit of fever took paracetemol as my doctor told me fever gone but slowly getting there,,, relatives telling me to have meat stew and plenty of oranges with alot of fluid..

Can you not have cough sweets either? I had some the other day...

 

[AbbyJ]

Yeah but they don't do anything Think maybe it's a little bit better today, honestly you'd think mother nature would give us pregnant ladies immunity from these things!

Hi a friend of mind was very ill with a cough/flu and i went to speak to a pharmacist for her about what she could take as she was 9 weeks pregnant at the time the pharmacist said the only thing she was allowed was a cough syrup called glycerin and honey. My friend said that it did get rid of the cough but it did sooth her throat and reduce the cough slightly hope this helps hun.

hope you feel better soon
