Not feeling too great..

[Full of hope!]

Hello everyone just after a bit of advice if I could please..

I've had a really sore throat since Thursday night and I developed a cough with it yesterday. It's making me feel quite groggy tbh and I hardly slept last night from coughing and tonight looks to be the same! I'm sure it's just viral but I wondered if there would be anything I could take for it.. like a cough mixture of something. Anyone have any ideas?

I don't think I need to bother my doctor really or should I? Everything is so much more confusing when your pregnant!

I know there are some cough medicines you shouldn't take during pregnancy - it might be an idea to ask your pharmacist for advice. I always do that when I don't feel the need to go to the docs.

try hot honey and lemon..and paracetamols.. u can take co-codamol too.. im sure that would help.. nothing voer the counter willl be suitabnle.. i dont think dr would give nething either

Thanks for the advice I'm feeling a bit better today but still coughing like mad! Your right Lisa, I asked the pharmasist in Boots today if there was anything I could take and she said there was nothing and told me to see my GP. I don't think there is any point really
