Coughing so hard for over a week and can't sleep :(

[LilFiresMama]

Anybody here knows of any safe herbal/home remedies to get rid of a cough? Before I was pregnant the only medicine that works was Phenergan with codeine...now that I'm almost 30 week pregnant definitely can't have it yet. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Bucks vapour rub on soles of feet with socks. Sounds crazy but it works.

Lemon ginger tea with honey. don't drink cold beverages. Try 2 tablespoons warm olive oil. Don't drink anything afterwards for awhile. Try some robitussin. Use Vicks vapor rub on your throat exterior and chest. Take hot steamy showers. Halls cough drops are OK.

My doctor told me to use saline solution because my stuffy nose and congestion was causing my cough. Humidifier also helped. My mom told me to boil lemons and drink with a bit of honey. It has helped. Sleeping upright helps too. Good luck.

No..just peel a small piece and keep in mouth ..try to suck juice from it

Lace, literally my ribcage hurt so bad every time I cough and of course the leakage of urine is uncontrollable :(. I'll buy some honey Lemon tea after I wake up. Working 12hr shift as a nurse doesn't help at all. I felt that some of my patients might think I'm sicker than them :|.

Febmommy, do you boil the ginger?

[LilFiresMama]

I'll try that one if the others won't help.

Katie, I'm currently using the humidifier but not helping at all. So I'll try your warm water with fresh lemon. Thanks!

Warm water with fresh lemon might help soothe your cough but it probably won't get rid of it.. and a humidifier if you haven't tried that..
