Hi mummy, I didn't have asthma but I was 28w when I had mild fever and sore throat, and went to see a GP to get medication to alleviate my symptoms.
A few days later, my fever subsided but I developed dry cough, phlegm and blocked nose. Went back to the same GP twice to get medication again to alleviate the symptoms. I was told its a viral infection, so no need antibiotics (phew).
It took me around 3 weeks to recover. Do get ample rest, drink more water to hydrate yourself, elevate yourself when sleeping, and sleep without aircon during this period! I find that I cough less at night when I prop myself up and sleep without aircon.
Recovery from illness during pregnancy takes much longer 🥲 Take care! Get well soon!
