Deepa Bavishi replied. Hi Deepa,
To relieve from cold and cough consult Homeopahtic doctor. Homeopathic medicines have no side effects and they are advisable during pregnancy. Tell your homeopathic doctor that u r pregnant. Homepathic medicines are also useful to relieve any problems that occur during pregnancy and can make your pregnancy easy.
I had same problem of cold and cough but i was completely cure with in two days by taking homeopathic medicines and never suffered again.Also my gynec suggested me that homeopathic medicines are safer during pregnancy.
Take care ! siya replied. try dabur honitus Jeanna replied. Deepa,

I had a case of the flu during my 20th week. (I am also a kidney transplant patient with a low immune system, so my doctors and I were really worried.)

The doctors were most concerned about compromised lung function. You need to be sure to report shortness of breath or difficult breathing to your ob/gyn immediately. They can bring you in for a quick listen and pulse/ox reading to check the level of oxygen in your blood.

As for me, I couldn' t take any medication to relieve my symptoms because I was on so much for my transplant and other issues. I used a mentholated/eucalyptus chest rub, a heated vaporizer and sucked on mentholated cough drops instead. Also drinking orange juice (anything with vitamin C) can help boost your immune system. Taking a really warm steamy shower might help you cough up some of the mucous from your throat/chest as well.

I pray your health improves and that you and your baby are safe and healthy...
