Horrible Cough

mcb0110

I have a horrible cold that has moved to my chest. I now have a horrible cough that is not allowing me to sleep. Anyone know if I can take Delsym cough suppressant? I've been trying to tough it out and go the all natural route, but it doesn't seem to be working. I have to get some relief! Any suggestions? Oh and I'm breastfeeding.

I had a cold a few weeks back and went online to see what I could take because I also had a horrible migraine. I tried holding it off but had to take an Advil. Just one though. I'm going to leave the link below and they have the medicines you could take for coughs and what to watch out for. But I hope it's not necessary and you feel better. Have you tried tea!? I hope you feel better mama!! Let us know if anything! And if you have any doubts contact your doctor maybe they can prescribe something too. https://www.infantrisk.com/content/over-counter-treatments-cough-and-cold

Thanks ladies. Friday was the worst, and I chickened out and didn't take anything. I've been drinking tons of tea!! If it wasn't for the warm tea I would have coughed my insides up. My friend uses essential oils and gave me some thieves and lemon to put in tea as well. Still fighting it, but not nearly as bad.
