Bad cough / itchy throat / random coughing fit. 2nd trimester. What off the shelf med is safe?

Had a fever last week which I took Paracetamol that I bought from hospital.. now that there’s no fever it developed into a cough. Will go into a coughing fit when my throat is triggered eg dry (already spamming loads of water so ok) or suddenly very itchy somehow it’s uncontrollable.. idk if it affects baby cos even my lower pelvic muscle also feel ache w the cough.. once the spree is over I’m back to normal. Just a lot of phlegm Any mommies experienced same before and took OTS meds to rid the cough? Still haven’t got the chance to go GP, thinking of self medicating first

I did honey + onion remedy. Safe to consume during pregnancy. The benefits are thinning of mucus and soothe your throat. It has helped me. I had cough since early January and it was damn bad. I only started finding this remedy from a friend. Did it early February, i am better today. Less cough and been clearing my phlegm. I am 33 weeks pregnant when i consumed this remedy. You need to find a jar. 1 big onion (cut into pieces) Pure Honey Put everything together in a jar and makesure the honey submerge the onion okie. Once done, let it infused for an hour at room temperature. You can place the jar in the fridge afterwards... Once in fridge, you can keep it for 2 weeks. Take one spoonful a day until you feel better! Hope this helps and get well soon.
