Hi,
I'm 28 weeks pregnant, with terrible coughing, phelgm, and runny nose. Been to my OB who did not give me any medication at all.
Any herbal or natural remedy that you can recommend?
Thanks.

hot lemon honey water. put in lots of lemon juice if u can tolerate it to get lots of vitamin C.
deep breathing exercises through the nose also helps clear ur nasal passages.
nose cleaners are suppose to work,but i haven't tried cause the idea is gross to me. my mom has this nose rinser that u put water in ur nose and cleans it out somehow.
hope u feel better........u're almost there!!!!! stick in there and u'll soon have ur baby in ur arms and nothing would matter anymore.

i'm pregnant too and have had a horrible cold for the past week!!! i went to my GP and got an anti-histimine. it's a nasal spray and works SO well. she also told me to take benadryl if i wanted but the nasal spray does the job. she also gave me a honey throat spray that is herbal. i don't think you can get it from the pharmacy but i can tell you the name of my doc if you want.

The thing that worked really really well for me [some of those herbal remedies aren't recommended for preggo gals either] was just to run a hot hot shower behind the shower curtain and hang out in the bathroom. Much more effective than the towel over the head breathing steam fix, and I found that I could bring a book in and read, and at night it would clear me up long enough that I could fall asleep [the #1 cure].
And add some ginger to the hot lemon honey water.
