safe remedy for cough and colds

[blue_angel]

Hi mga sis im 6 weeks preggy. I would like to ask kung okay kaya uminom ng kalamansi habang na sa first trimester? May cough and colds kasi ako, and medyo yellowish yung phlegm.so instead of medicine yung natural way na pag treat ng cough ko yung gagawin ko. Thanks mga sis..

[luckymommy88]

ako sis niresetahan ako ng OB ko ng antihistamine chlorphenamine maleate 4mg for 5 days.tiwala naman ako kasi OB din siya ng ate ko at naalagaan naman sila ng niece ko mabuti.ask your OB sis

i have cough and colds last week pero 24 weeks na kami ni baby.

Water theraphy and calamansi juice is effective for me.

Niresetahan ako ng gamot though, decolgen and solmux... but yung sa akin kasi is irritation lang walang plema or infection so nag water theraphy lang ako and super rest..

after 3 days wala na

better check with your OB sis kasi pag ganyan na yellowish na yung phlegm  kailangan na ng antibiotics kasi sign na siya ng infection. and ang alam ko din hindi inaadvise ng mga pulmo ang anything citrus pag may cough and cold thats accdg to my sons pedia pulmo and pulmo din ng sis ko na may asthma

[zhiel03]

water theraphy na lang sis and lots of rest

sis it's best for you to go to your OB.
Although ako, @35weeks, got colds and mild cough with clear phlegm,
maraming fruits, water, pinag steam ako for colds, 1000mg ascorbic acid
and ginger tea. it helped a lot.

Thanks sa mga advice nyo mga sis. Calamansi juice yung iniinom ko so far okay naman, hindi na yellowish phlegm ko.minsan nga lang parang ang kati ng lalamunan ko kaya ubo lang ng ubo.

aside from the time na na-hospital ako for URTI nun preggy ako, load up lang ako ng vitamin c kapag nagkakasipon. it worked for me naman, madali mawala sipon ko kapag ganun. fern-c take ko nun kasi non-acidic form of vitamin c so mas safe kahit 4-5 tablets per day.

super hirap ang may colds, sakit sa ulo..

[charlize16]

10weeks pregnant ako ang hirap kapag may ubo sobrang sakit.ayoko naman uminom ng gamot.mga sister hindi ba masama magkaubo kapag pregnant.

[blue_angel]

^hi sis. Ilang days ka na ba inuubo? I think hindi naman siguro masama as long as help mo din sarili mo na mawala yung ubo mo. Ako kasi 6 weeks preggy nung nagka ubo't sipon. Water therapy and calamansi juice lang ginawa ko. So far okay naman check up ko last saturday at narinig ko na din heart beat ni baby via doppler. Pero ngayonay colds na naman ako pa iba iba kasi weather ngayon. Good luck sis hope na maging ok kayo ni baby.

[charlize16]

thanks sis.wow narinig mo na heartbeat ng baby mo? Di pa kasi ako nagpapacheck up uli. Scheduled for tvs ako this month and balik sa ob ko sa 21.mga 1 week na ako hirap sa pag ubo at the same time sipon.

[mommyleigh]

     halos 1 month na ako umiinom ng ascorbic acid..pero bakit
tinablan parin ako ng ubo at sipon???ayoko pa naman magkasakit..

[blue_angel]

Sis pwede ba magpa flu vaccine if preggy?

[izabelle]

^ pwede sis.. 

[mizizlim]

ako din 6 weeks pregnant, had a bad case of allergic rhinitis this new year.  and problema, i have post nasal drip so pag sinipon ako, automatic inuubo kasi napupunta yung sipon sa throat.

my ob gave me claritin for the allergies for 3 days.  type a medicine naman daw yun meaning safe for pregnant women.

to help me sleep at night, i had a vaporizer also na may vicks inhaler.  para makatulong magdecongest and makatulog ako.  e yun usok lang naman so safe din for pregnant.

[celica]

^naku sis pareho tayo. hirap pag may sipon kasi at the same time talaga, with sore throat. advise naman sakin ng doctor ko water therapy and iwas muna sa citrus fruits kasi mahina kapit ni baby when i was on my 8th week. kaya naman daw hindi pwede citrus fruits kasi mas nag stay daw sa throat ang phlegm. nag-work naman yung therapy.

[khriseeee]

During my first trimester I had frequent colds and bouts of allergic rhinitis. For the colds (with yellow phlegm) my OB prescribed decolgen or neozep, both non-drowsy.

For my allergic rhinitis, she prescribed Zyrtec naman.

I'm 35 weeks now and have a cold again, I'm taking neozep again along with fern C and lots of water. Hoping it will clear up before I give birth!

[jhenpretty]

Ako naman nung preggy ako nun to my son, my OB never advice me to take medicines. She advised me to have my vitamin C, increase water in take and fruits rich in vitamin C.. ^_^

[Chubhart]

For 2 days now, medyo makati yun throat ko. Ayaw ko pa uminom ng meds, so water muna ko and ricola candy pag nauubo. Sana di affected si baby pag nauubo lalo na sa [textspeak!], medyo may pressure sa tummy e.
I had my flu vaccine. 25th wk ko na. I asked my OB and other OBs, safe naman daw basta di high risk pregnancy and not in 1st Tri.
