Does anyone has a bad cough?

[Judy]

Hi ladies

I have suffered from a bad cough for nearly a week now. The doctor has only prescribe a cough mixture and a cold/flu tablets to me. I have also been told to avoid spicy stuff & cold drinks. However, the medicine did nothing to ease the "itch" in my throat which causes me to cough really badly. I was told not to take Pi Pa Gao and also the usual cough sweets as doctor warn that they could lead to more phelgm creation. :tsad:

Does anyone of you have the same experience as me? If yes, do you have any remedy to ease "itchy" throat without harming the bb?

I take pi pa guo - slow process but Chinese stuff r better for internal 'healing'. c go a chinese sinseh

No cold stuff - everything at room temp
No durian, chocolate, rambutans, the yellow preserved mango .....

Hi city.p, I just checked with my gyne and she advises that I should not take pi pa kao..cos they are unfamiliar if the active ingredients in the syrup is safe for pregnant ladies or not.

Doctor also encourages me to eat vit C too.

I was constantly falling sick back when I was preg. Mostly coughing too. In the end I find that drinking more water actually helps. Warm water.

Yeah..that's what I did too. In fact, I also uses listerine before I goes to bed every night and in the morning when I wakes to help curb the cough. In the end, it works! But I do not know whether it works because of me taking medicine or because of the use of listerine and just drinking plenty of warm water when I had the cough. :001_302:

Toking abt cough it reminds me of my bad cough comes wif phelgm + flu during my last trimester all the way till i give birth thru c-sect. Each time i cough, my c-sect wound hurt like hell, like as if going to burst open the wound tt kind of pain. Anyway i was aso given cough mixture n same like u it didnt works for me at all. Normally gynae will gif us light dose of cough coz it wont harm the bb but then those cough mixture wif such light dose i doubt it helps lor.:nah:

We shall take good care of our health esp the period when are pregnant, cos i believe those medicine are not so good to the BB inside us.

Hmm.. Hope i will have a honeymoon BB next year March :wong9:
