31 weeks with pneumonia

[mommy2Bof3LO]

I started feeling sick last week but thought it would only be a slight cold since it started with a sore throat. Didn't go away just got worse and I was in urgent care for over 2 hours (there was alot of sick people with masks on) dr. On call prescribed me a zpack and an inhaler which is the only thing,they can really do I guess...I bought theraflu and halls and just wanted to know if anyone else has ever had anything else that helps this horrible cough..I apply vapor rub on my chest and night to help me try to sleep and dr. Told me I could take a zyrtec for the drainage if it makes me wanna pueke but I didn't buy it...I'm miserable I can't breathe my ribs,chest and lungs hurt and my head feels like it's gna explode...not to mention my baby is kicking me and I have to squeeze my legs as soon as I get a cough attack...does anyone have any other suggestions?

You can use pills or powder for the probiotic. just make sure it is 30 billion or above. Garlic comes in a bulb. A piece of that bulb is called a clove. you swallow the clove like a pill. It has never upset my stomach and dinner was toast and applesauce tonight because I'm so nauseous.

Put vice on your feet then put socks on. I know it sounds weird but we do it to my niece and she hardly coughs at night when she is sick.

I'm supposed to start well have started it today, a probiotic as in the pills?? And does the garlic upset your stomach if you drink it?

You can take a clove of garlic a day. Swallow it like a pill, don't chew it. It is an anti viral, anti bacterial, and anti fungal.  Vitamin c to boost your immune system. Zinc lozenges to boost your immune system and help any cough. Stay away from sugar which suppresses your immune system. Make sure you take a really good probiotic if you take the z pack.
