I was given z-pack for an antibiotic and I'm using a vicks humidifier. So far nothing is helping. Ugh. Being sick while pregnant should be illegal

I was given an inhaler and Tylenol with codeine just for at night to help me sleep. I also suggest a good humidifier one that you can see the "steam" basically make yourself a tent, drink lots of water, and get the vicks handheld breather thing (sorry drawing a blank of actual name....) you put vicks pads in it and breath it in and nd it helps calm coughs and non will help open sinuses. I've had bronchitis 3 times this pregnancy.  I and nonslip had such a bad intense cough I had to wear pads... absolutely terrible.  I really hope you get better soon sweetheart good luck!

Your doctor can prescribe an antibiotic. Just let them know that you are pregnant
