2nd Trim Post-flu coughing

Question

Hi mommies, any remedies for post-flu cough that doesnt go away? I recovered from a cold weeks ago but the coughing doesnt go away. Its affecting my sleep, and I would accidentally pee sometimes when I cough. Phelgm is clear and watery and its like backdrip in my throat.  Any mommies got this and recovered, can share how you recovered? Trying to avoid coughing syrup cos worried it might affect baby.  #advicepls #firsttimemom #firstbaby

Just take the cough syrup that the GP prescribed rather than suffering for such a long time - will not be good for your lungs and compromised immunity for too long is unhealthy for baby. If you tell GP you’re pregnant they will prescribe a preg safe cough syrup for you. I’m recovering from a covid cough now and all my medicines are preg safe.
