I know there's one Robitussin you're not suppose to take. My OB gave me a list when I went in for my first appointment with both of my kids. Still, I called to confirm anyway. </p> <p>I know the feeling as I've been coughing for the last two weeks myself, but I'm not pregnant so I've been taking meds. I also eat a tablespoon full of honey right before bed to help with the cough. It's helped a lot. Also, have you tried to sleep with your arms raised above your head? When I took my oldest in to see a doctor a few weeks ago that doctor joking said something about sleeping with his arms raised up high. I tried it while sleeping after I got sick and it actually helped! I thought he was kidding. </p> <p>Hope you feel better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-natural-coughing-remedies#post-1345187 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 10:05:01 +0000 T-Mom 1345187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get the dry tickling cough and rely on ricola and just lots of water. Sorry you are feeling gross still. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-natural-coughing-remedies#post-1345030 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 09:35:04 +0000 jedeve 1345030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neti pot. Gargle with salt water for sore throat. Honey. And dark chocolate! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-natural-coughing-remedies#post-1345020 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 09:33:11 +0000 artsyfartsy 1345020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lots of water!<br /> If it's a wet cough the water will thin the mucus faster so you cough it up and get it out more efficiently and get over it quickly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-natural-coughing-remedies#post-1344934 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 09:02:47 +0000 Alivoo01 1344934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Vicks vapor rub, eucalytpus oil in humidifer, and cough drops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-natural-coughing-remedies#post-1344842 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 08:09:43 +0000 yellowbird 1344842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have the same cough and constantly have to drink water/have a cough drop in. I haven't tried any medicine, but maybe I should. It sucks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-natural-coughing-remedies#post-1344841 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 08:09:42 +0000 Dandelion 1344841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: Mine was like that, too...i chalked it up to the extra fluids that pregnancy gives me anyways. I've been sneezing the whole pregnancy, just as a usual side effect for me, but that cough was really bad! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-natural-coughing-remedies#post-1344835 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 08:06:11 +0000 regberadaisy 1344835@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: Thanks! I have been coughing up phlegm which is VERY weird for me. Mine is more of a dry tickling cough which makes me wonder if it's actually a "allergy" cough like I got a few years back. Which then the only thing that worked was Robitussin DM + Benaydrl </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-natural-coughing-remedies#post-1344833 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 08:04:32 +0000 Dandelion 1344833@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@locavore_mama: The one without the expectorant. I just wanted to dry up and not cough up tons of crud. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-natural-coughing-remedies#post-1344831 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 08:03:51 +0000 regberadaisy 1344831@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Dandelion: I am almost there. I'm at the point where I'm scared I'm doing more harm by coughing so violently! Did you use Robitussin DM? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-natural-coughing-remedies#post-1344828 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 07:59:47 +0000 Dandelion 1344828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think mucinex is ok, but double check. Robitussin DOES help a lot. I had to resort to that a few weeks ago, cause it hurt my pelvis so much to cough. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-natural-coughing-remedies#post-1344818 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 07:53:30 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1344818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just gave my daughter Zarbee's and its really helping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/help-natural-coughing-remedies#post-1344810 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 07:48:41 +0000 regberadaisy 1344810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Please help. I've been sick for over a week and although I generally <i>feel</i> better now my cough has gotten much worse.</p> <p>It's keeping me up at night, even sleeping sitting up. I am coughing so hard my throat hurts and so does my chest. I almost threw up twice this morning from bile rising up.<br /> I have done hot tea with honey and lemon and it's not helping much.</p> <p>I'm just about 8 weeks along so I'm not comfortable taking Robitussum even though a nurse at the OB's office suggested it.</p> <p>Help! </p>
