Sore throat and cough.

[amelia21x]

does anyone know what you can have to relieve a sore throat and cough when your pregnant?
Mines really bad, I managed to catch a viral bug which made me sick and gave me a very high temperature. Ended up in hospital for 2 days on a drip because I was dehydrated and couldn't keep any food or drink down myself. Thankfully I'm out now and everything's ok with the baby but my throat is so sore and I'm constantly coughing. I've been drinking water and taking paracetamol

Just do hot tea, lemon juice and honey... It does help!

I actually went to the doctor two days ago for a sore throat and all they told me to take is benadryl. Now I've got blisters all over the back of my throat and my glands all are swollen. Needless to say, I'm going back. /:

Ive also jjust got a viral bug, im 38 weeks and really want a lemsip but I cant as they have decongestants in them, one thing that did help was bake a lemon in the oven and drizzle honey over it, other that just carry on with lots of water

Paracetamol is a life saver

Gargle with warm to hot salt water every hour. It always helps with sore throats. And rub some Vicks on your chest it will open it up and stay in bed and bundle up.

I took Tylenol to help with a sore throat a while ago. It also helps to run a humidifier.
