When to see a doctor, chest congestion and pregnant.
I have terrible chest/nasal congestion for 4 days now. First two days I was coughing up loads of phlegm, yesterday and today my nose has become completely plugged but little phlegm is coming up, just a harsh weesey cough that I can not stop. The coughing is causing pain to my ribs. I am 24 weeks pregnant, have only had my temperature go up 1 degree. Should I go see a doctor? I am with a midwife so she can not help with other medical issues outside of pregnancy.
I would recommend you see a dr. I have personally found since becoming pregnant it takes longer for me to get better. I got sick about 2months ago and my chest has still got phlegm in it. Hope you get better soon. Best of luck
There are a few decongestant medicines that are safe to take while pregnant. However, it's always best to consult a doctor or pharmacist when it comes to medicines and pregnancy.
