Cough during pregnancy

Ive been coughing for more than a week now and it’s quite persistent. I avoid taking the cough syrup thrice a day and started to take honey once a day. Still stubborn coughs, and my left side (slightly below chest area) started to hurt whenever i cough now. I only feel it when i cough. Anyone had such experience and any advice to clear the stubborn coughs?

I'd definitely bring this up with your gynae or PD soon, especially since you're getting pain in that area when you cough - better to rule out anything like a pulled muscle or something that needs a bit more attention than honey alone can handle. A week-long cough in pregnancy can be tricky because you want to be careful what you take, but your doctor can suggest safer options or check if there's something else going on, so it's worth getting checked out just to be safe.

I’m also experiencing this right now and dunno what to do :(
