Common Questions and Answers about Chest congestion while pregnant

Avatar f tn ve been battling a sinus thing and I was told Sudafed but nothing more than regular Sudafed (no PE, extended release, etc.)and that if it became a full blown cold (chest congestion, cough, etc.) I could take Tylenol Cold but also just the regular version. Hope you get to feeling better!
Avatar n tn I also found soaking a cloth in hot water and putting it on my chest really helps, or either making a hot mustard paste compress for my chest or a hot mustard foot soak really helps the sinuses/chest congestion.
Avatar f tn Tylenol and benadryl are the only two 'safe' medicines...although no medicine is best. I had a bad cold that was aweful for about 4 days and then lingered for like another 4...get lots of rest, fluids, and possibly use a humidifier (I did because I had congestion AND the runny nose/sneezes and it helped with the congestion...I didn't use any medication while I was sick). Hope you feel better!
Avatar f tn I am 30 weeks pregnant and suffering from nasal congestion, cough and chest congestion- any recommendations for safe meds while sick?? Thank you in advance.
Avatar f tn What it feels like is the chronic post nasal drip I have has caused congestion in my upper chest. However, the weird part is, I really have no cough, and the occasional cough has never brought anything up. In the past, if my chest begins to feel this way, it is followed by the painful cough and coughing stuff up. I would not call what I have sometimes as pain, it feels more like irritation. When I am active, as well as when I drink a lot of water, it seems to be much better.
Avatar n tn For about a year now I have had a cough and chest congestion, my doctor has switched my asthma medications several times thinking that might be the reason for my cough and congestion, she's tried many different types of allery medications, I have been to the pulmonologist, had a chest x-ray and nothing was found, but the cough and congestion I still have.
Avatar f tn I have severe chest congestion. This has been going on for about 3 months. It's strange because I will have constant congestion and cough one day and the next day I will be almost clear. I know that if I have congestion one day the next day I will not. I plan my days accordingly. My dr. has put me on antiboitics and presidone twice in the last 3 months, I've had a chest x-ray last week, shows nothing. I have had allergies all my life.
Avatar f tn I have this tightness in my chest i kno its mucus but i dont have a cough or cold it hurts when i try to take a deep breath ive never had chest congestion before im not coughing up blood or anything like that. ive been using my asthma pump because when i was younger i had trouble with asthma it helps clearing my airways so i can breath easier but it comes back after awhile. Help?

Avatar f tn After eating certain foods I get quite a bit of mucus build-up in my lungs and find myself coughing a lot after meals. I'm 17 years old and don't think this is due to acid reflux as I don't have any other symptoms and am quite young. I notice it immediately after I finish eating (not sure if it actually starts during eating as I'm not really focused on how my chest feels while eating). Does anyone have any idea of what this may be?
Avatar n tn I am definitley sick, have been for a while. What I really want to know is, is congestion, chest infection and cough symptoms of ARS?
Avatar f tn Tylenol! Don't take ibuprofen!!!! It can make your baby breath air in the womb which everyone knows is full of amniotic fluid. So it could drown the baby.
Avatar m tn Chymoral Forte is an anti-inflammatory drug. Pantosec (sometimes goes under the name of Pantoprazole) is used to treat gastroesophageal reflux disease which is also referred to as GERD. GERD is a condition in which backward flow of acid from the stomach causes heartburn and injury of the food pipe (the food pip is called the esophagus). Pantosec is also used to treat conditions where the stomach produces too much acid..

Avatar f tn My question is the the last 3 months as I am laying down for a while I get a gurggle feeling in my chest and it almost feels like congestion so I make a cough to see if that would help and I have no congestion at all and the cough doesnt help. When I stand for a minute is when it will go away. Can you please tell me what this means or if I should go get a 2nd opinion???
