Cough,chest cold
Im 4 weeks pregnant today. Ny insurance doesnt.kick in until 2 weeks. I have started with congestion..now I have a slight cough,but hurts my chest when I do. Is there anything you ladies can recommend in the meantime?? Thank you!!! ;)
The Vicks rub is fine, but I don't know about the cough syrup. A lot of pregnant ladies, including me, try to tough it out at the beginning with natural remedies and stay away from over-the-counter medications at first at least. Honey is a good natural cough syrup, and honey in hot tea (I like peppermint tea helps soothe your throat. A humidifier will help you breathe and sleep better, and cough drops and chloroseptic spray for your throat are just fine. I did have a pretty serious upper respiratory infection in the first trimester, and my OB said regular mucinex is okay.
Also.. If u hv Vicks at home. U can try that. Rub it on yr bk n chest. It helps me. I hope u feel better...
Thank You.. I have been on Google for 2 days & read that Vicks Cough Syrup is ok? Im just so paranoid on what I can and cant take
