chest cold in pregnancy

Yes I had 4 colds in 3 months but the last time Vicks vapor rub under my nose and on my chest, halls, and hot tea helped extremely well

My doctor told me I can take robitussin DM for my cold. Is robitussin cough+Chest congestion DM the same thing?

If it's allergy related you can take Claritin... Or however it is spelled. If it's cold related really you can only take Tylenol cold and flu. Web MD has a list... Here is the link http://www.m.webmd.com/baby/guide/taking-medicine-during-pregnancy?

All day I have had this cold feeling in my chest and back. It feels like I have rub vicks on me. It does not hurt just that cold burn in my chest it is between my boobs up to my neck and back. It feel like it is on the out side not a pain I think.

The ER rushed me out and said coughing up cold is normal during pregnancy but i feel horrible cough sneeze chest pain etc ....anyone else spit all day and have lots of cold *** up too??

ve described here, and insist on having a chest exam. Green mucus can be a sign of infection. Chest pain should never be ignored, and should definitely be looked at by a physician in order to rule out any thing serious. Years ago, I had symptoms much like yours, but I chose to skip the doctors visit and stay home. It turned out that I had bronchitis, then developed pneumonia.

I don't know what you are allowed to take when you are pregnant, pharmaceutical or otherwise... but I'd suggest making sure you eat well, stay hydrated. Maybe run a hot shower for a while then go outside in the cold (like when babies have croup---gives some relief). I've heard oil of oregano or eucalyptus oil, a few drops in boiling water, your head with a towel over it and you inhale, can help with phlegm.

Whenever I drink water or any other liquid I feel pain almost in the middle of the chest and I feel it only at a point in the chest no where else.But when I eat food I dont feel any pain in the chest . Pain occurs only when I drink water or other things like coke,pepsi etc . Is it serious or something common ?

being so early in pregnancy... you should be fine. what options are you concidering? the first atleast two months of prego are concidered the grace period. please take care of yourslef from here on out...and congradulations...

t want to take anything that will hurt the baby. This is my first pregnancy. Not sure what I can take for my cold been stuffed up, throat n chest hurts, bad cough... Coughing a lot n starting to seem like bronchitis. Any ideas on what I can take.

I am 13 weeks pregnant and I know this is for january due dates but I really am in chest and head cold hell and I am wondering if it will hurt my baby I am taking some meds the doctor prescribed but they don't seem to work I've been like this for a month any advice thanks

Thanks Ladies! Unfortunately I think I'm gonna have to cave in and go to the dr because it has turned into a horrible chest cold.

For the last few days directly in the center of my chest where my cleavage is i have a cold sensation, weird tingly sensation. I keep putting my hand there to check it is warm or if clothing is rubbing on it but it is not of course...but most notciceable & worrying. The only other symptoms i have are palpitations.. Can anyone shed light on this?

Are there any over the counter remedies that are safe to use in pregnancy. I am also now worried as I have put Vicks vapour rub all on my chest and back is this safe. I've had hot lemon and honey but it only relieved me when it was drinking it. My throat and chest are so sore and worried about the effect coughing is having on my baby. I've also taken 2 paracetamol .

I know that in pregnancy you are instructed to avoid cold cuts because of the risk of listeria. I did read in one of my books that you could warm up the cold cuts to decrease this problem. I was wondering if you could have Quizno's or Subway if they heat up your sandwich. I don't have my appt with my doctor for my first appt until next week, and I was just wondering.

Hi, I am in early stages of pregnancy and keep breaking out with cold sores. Is this common? Also any recommendations on best treatment?

I have been outside in the damp bitter cold air for 8hrs a day for last two days. I was definitely prepared with the proper amount of layers, head gear and wool socks. However, the last day my chest is very tight, if i cough it restricts my chest and hurts when i cough. I have no other symptoms other than my chest wall. I am drinking hot tea with honey and have put vicks vapor rub on my chest, but it hurts to talk and especially when i cough. please help.

now with my cough and runny/stuffy nose I developed chest pain, or a chest cold. Yesterday my chest hurt really bad in the evening and when I coughed It hurt even more. Today chest still hurts when I cough but that as bad as yesterday. What can all this be?

What lurooney said. I was full of cold at about 38 weeks and rubbed Vicks onto my chest at night.

The nurse said I might be fighting off a stomach bug. The crazy thing is I feel like I now have a chest cold! My mantra is "just 10 more weeks, just 10 more weeks...I can do this!" I am relived to see that Im not the only one that has had nausea return. Sorry that it did but glad Im not alone! Lilpixie: So happy for you that your baby is fine but what is going on with your racing heart? How do you feel today?
