I went to the doctor after having a horrible cough for over a week could barely talk. They diagnosed with asthmatic bronchitis and gave me stuff to take. If home remedies aren't working go see the doctor ebfore it turns into something worse

Tylenol cold medicine. You can take any form of Tylenol, but double check with your Dr.

I'm 17wks and have had the flu for the past week and I completely understand, its been the worst. What has helped me a little was some robitussin DM non alcohol and cough drops for coughing and congestion, and as for nasal congestion linden leaves tea has helped but not completely, hope this helps!

So sorry to hear. The best is to get loads of rest. Try some chicken (with bone) broth soup and drink a mixture of hot honey, real lemon and ginger. I had a cold early on and felt better in 4 days. Take it easy.
