In any case, the general rule of thumb is: take medication only on the advice of a practitioner who knows you are pregnant, and only when it is absolutely necessary.
One treatment that is safe for pregnancies is inhalation of a steam vaporizer, humidifier, or steaming kettle. You can prepare a tent by draping a sheet over an open umbrella that is resting on a chair back. Place the humidifier on a chair. Spend 15 minutes 3 or 4 times a day under the tent; extend the time to 30 minutes if you aren't too uncomfortable. Don't stay under the tent if you become uncomfortably warm. Keep the humidifier near your bedside when you are sleeping or resting.
Another treatment is drinking additional fluids. Drink 8 ounces of liquid every hour, including water, juices, soups. Hot fluids (here comes the chicken soup) are best. Limit milk intake only if recommended by your doctor.
As far as any over-the-counter or prescription medications, you should seek advice from your doctor. Not 100% of the medication, over-the-counter or prescription, herbal or not, works 100% of the time for 100% of the women or is 100% safe for those women. Other medications should be discussed with your doctor if your coughing is out of hand or due to some other illness.
Whenever I or someone in m family has a cough we mix 1 teaspoon of honey with 2 teaspoons of lemon juice - the liquid will be quite thick so u dont have to swallow all in one go - split taking that small amount in 3 intervals - you should notice the cough easing off quite soon after . Good luck
For cough and sore throat:
HONEY!
Hot Lemon Tea, just add fresh lemon to hot water, stir in some honey and sip. (When you are not pregnant, you can add a jigger of whiskey and it will be even better for the cough.)
For a sore throat:
Gargle with warm salt water around three times a day. Do not swallow, especially if edema/puffiness or blood pressures are a problem (swallowing a little accidentally will not be harmful otherwise). Use a solution that is approximately the strength of seawater, not too salty: approximately 2 teaspoons salt per pint of water. Make the temperature just slightly warmer than body temperature. Make it fresh for each use, discard any remaining solution.
Molasses will soothe your throat and ease your cough.
Hi, i used water and salt and it helped a lot. when I had too much congestion, the doctor prescribed for me Xylocomod,
Tylenol cold and sinus, basically anything Tylenol makes for colds it is the only safe medicine when you are pregnant.
No drug can be considered 100% safe to use during pregnancy.
None.
Ask you Dr. before taking any kind of meds. during pregnancy , all I know that is safe is Tylenol.
It's a not a pregnancy sign but just as when you are not pregnant you can get cough or a cold.
No such data is available for safety of ambroxol during early pregnancy. It is safe to use the same drug after 28 weeks of pregnancy. Another mucolytic drug is bromhexine. It is derived from plant source and is probably safe in pregnancy. It has been used for cough for centuries.
Go to the doctor. You should have had your MMR & DPT shots when you were younger. I hope you have a shot record. Maybe you can have a booster shot .
