coughing!

Hello all!  I'm sure that this topic has come up before, but I can't find the post.  I'm now 15w2d and have been coughing like crazy for the last week or so.  It's so bad to the point where I'm occasionally gagging.  I called the doctor today and she said all I can do is have tea with honey or some lozenges.  Cough syrups have way too much alcohol in them.  Has anyone else had success with anything "safe" for us?

hey!!  I have actually been through that when i was around my 10-12th weeks of pregnancy. I had a VERY bad cough along with gagging and lots of PHLEGM EWW!! lol and plus i stopped smoking also so my body was cleaning itself out ,but my doctor prescribed me some robitussin with NO ALCOHOL and it worked like a charm. I am not sure if they sell that over the counter but if you go to the drug store you can ask but remember its NO ALCOHOL.  Hope i helped.
