Avatar f tn What are safe medicines to take for a sore throat and cough while pregnant or other safe remedies? I hear women say they drink tea with honey but I also heard your not allowed to drink tea while pregnant? Is this true or is there certain blends you can't have?
Avatar f tn Increase fluid intake, use a humidifier, try a saline nasal rinse (I love these), and extra vitamin c. If you have a fever or trouble breathing you need to go to the hospital. Decreased oxygen for you means decreased oxygen for baby. Fever for you means higher body temp which is also dangerous for baby. I'm all for natural remedies but you need to weigh the pros and cons.
Avatar n tn who gave me the most sorry look when I asked (coughing) what I could take if I was pregnant.. she said non-medicated lozenges, plenty of liquids and rest.. vitamin c through fruits.. and a prayer for it all to pass quickly... hahah.. for real. (((hugs))) hope that you feel better soon!
Avatar f tn I am nearly 22 weeks pregnant, and managed to get the cold from hell!!! I already know that I can't medicate myself much, but I'm just wondering if this cold is bad for the baby? I feel like all the coughing and sneezing isn't good for the little one, and I'm starting to worry.

Avatar f tn Coughing is normal; night coughing can be because of an airway infection viral or bacterial. It can also occur because of an allergy. Even sleep apnea can cause coughing at night. You can try dusting your room and home often. Keep your bed clean and dust-free. Use a humidifier if needed. You need to take care of triggers that may cause allergy, which is leading to coughing. If the cough becomes severe, consult your health professional.

Avatar f tn Thank you! I went to the ER and they just gave me mucinex and tessalon which I already had and has done nothing! I've been drinking tea and honey like crazy! Only thing that does help is a hot shower but as soon as I get out, I start coughing again! I hate that it depends on the doctor because when the nurse was explaining the prescriptions he said if I wasn't pregnant, I could have got Tylenol with codeine, but last time I was pregnant I got Tylenol 3 for my back!

Avatar m tn My nova scotia duck tolling retriever has been coughing on and off for years. Sometimes it brings up phlegm; other times not. We know she has allergies to ragweed, grass, weeds, flaxseed. Her food contains nothing that she's allergic to. I understand that her allergies may act up in the summer, but her coughing is year-round (we live where we have winter from Nov.-Mar. so the grasses are dead part of the year).
