Coughing badly

Hey mummies. I’m currently 20+ weeks and coughing for one week. The cough got worse, tried GP medication doesn’t work. Been coughing super badly until I visit the toilet a few times in an hour. During night time can’t sleep and visit the toilet as whenever I cough urine keep leaking. I’m a bit worry about my baby. Called KK they say more than 22 weeks need to go to delivery suite there. Is there anything to worry about and should I go to the delivery suite to see the doctor there? But the thing is I’m not a KK patient and my gynae is currently overseas.

Hello! I’m also in my 20th week and recovered from a really horrible cough recently. Went to GP thrice and yep the meds didn’t help (think because they can only prescribe us pregnancy-safe meds). I went to buy manuka honey, mixed it with warm water and drank it for about three days. You can try! Hope you’ll get well soon 🩷

it's ok, you can still go to kkh to see the doc since your gynae is currently overseas. I also went to kkh delivery suite a few times for urgent issues when it is off-clinic hours or when my gynae is overseas too. hope the doctor at kkh will have something to help you with the cough!

You may try to apply some medicated oil at the bottom of your throat and chest area, you might feel better. I’ve had persistent coughing and was taught this way and it got much better and stopped coughing within 2-3 days

my clinic staff suggested not to consume manuka honey though, cos it is in raw form. so there’s a certain level of risk. i guess.. consume at own risk/comfort level! maybe can try pregnancy safe lozenges in the meantime?
