I’ve had cough for over 2 weeks and went for my first gynae visit yesterday. Told my OBGYN that my cough is affecting my daily life like no appetite to eat, the sharp pain in my throat will wake me up from my sleep. Even swallowing saliva is painful. She prescribed me antibiotics and some cough drops. So I think better go visit a OBGYN asap so they can quickly prescribe you the suitable medication. Hope you recover soon!

My GP gave me a pregnancy-friendly flu Med. But he says cough Med are not pregnancy friendly. He did say pipagao (eaten in moderation) is ok and will help. I mostly rely on drinking a lot of water to recover. I caught flu and cough on week 5 (just 3 days after I discover I was pregnant)

advice for? go see a GP for pregnancy-suitable meds
