question: I m 40 weeks pregnant with a bad cough. It started last night and after coughing for like 10 minutes this morning a little phlegm came out my mouth. The day before that my one nostril was either stopped up or running and when I blew my nose sometimes it was clear and other times it was mucus in my tissue. It started Friday with a really scratchy throat; I ve been taking cough drops with honey and lemon and my throat stopped hurting early yesterday. I just don t know what to do about this cough mainly since I m pregnant. Please help me.
