I am worried 
Got this really bad flu and now horrible cough .. it literally shakes me from within every two seconds … at the start of 8th month of pregnancy , is this cough dangerous? does it disturb the baby much?
cant even take medicines 
any suggestions how to get rid of this freaking cough?
Re: Cough !
Many meds become safe in the 3rd trimester so maybe there is a cough syrup you could use, check with your doc. Otherwise there are so many home remedies like honey in hot water and adrak etc
Re: Cough !
Just try not to cough or sneeze when peeing…you’ll be fine inshalah. 
Re: Cough !
Thanks guys ..
Re: Cough !
I had a terrible cough in the first trimester..nothing worked but Delsym. And it was prescribed by my doc who knew about pregnancy.. check with your doc and they may give you some medicine!
Re: Cough !
can i ask if ur in the uk did u have the flu jab???
Re: Cough !
I did Zayma .. infact I had it just last week and then this flu started out of the blue :(
Re: Cough !
Maybe its because of some allergy. I have been having these severe allergy bouts myself. Flu, toothache, skin allergy. I think the changing whether is doing this to me anyway. Maybe you need to sort the root of the illness first. And treat it likewise. Khansi is uncool in pregnancy because its painful, even if not that* harmful now when you are in your third trim. I feel its khushki maybe. Try honey in warm milk. And GET WELL REAL SOON. We dont want our little nugget be facing these khansi jerks 
Re: Cough !
have it checked out.. if its just the common cough.. u will get over it.. if its an infection u may be given an antibiotic.. if its an allergy.. an inhaler. i had the latter done.. cuz my cough was BAD.. went on for 2 months... and i peed every time i coughed. disgusting era best forgotten!
Re: Cough !
Thanks ladies .. so far, its been a flu .. and its been five days since I am down , Flu is sidelining slowly with cough taking over , if it stays for another week or so then i would get worried about it being an infection or allergy .. but so far I think its the last of the flu ..
I am taking haldi dood and joshanda as well .. in little quantities .. hope they heal me fast :hinna:
Re: Cough !

Re: Cough !
awwww CB, get well soon, have some honey in hot water or ginger tea or simple hot milk.
PS:time is flying mashahallah already 8 months, n yes pic plz 
This sounds silly but it really works; bring 1 cup water to boil, add two tablespoons of sugar and 2 teasooons of honey... Let it boil till it's half cup... Don't drink it in once... Only little sips about every half hour.....it's damn sweet but it's worth to give it a try! Hopefully you'll well very soon! Inshallah!!
Re: Cough !
^ the above one !
and just taking 1 or 1/2 tsp of honey would ease your cough....try it !
