I feel like im going to die today. I was up all night coughing with this dry, hacking cough and barely got any sleep. Im so tired. Ive been coughing up hard chunks of phlegm all morning. I'm coughing so much and so hard that i cant breath and end up gasping for air. Sometimes i feel as if im choking and i cant clear my throat. This has been going on since Sunday.
The Dr said 99% of the time these things are viral and there is nothing you can do but drink a ton of fluids, rest, try some steam therapy and get a humidifier. She said as long as you don't have a fever, try not to worry so much about it......... Ive been drinking hot water with lemon and honey in it for the past few days. im so tired of it. I HATE HONEY! I read that it acts as a natural cough suppressant, so i took a spoonful last night before bed but all it did was make me gag and didn't help my coughing at all.
I know when you're pregnant your immune system is weakened, and its going to take longer to get over colds. I barely leave the house, so how the heck did i get this sick??? DH isnt sick at all!
I barely have an appetite and forcing myself to eat for the baby is so hard right now. DH is so worried about me. He hates not being able to help me. He went to the store and got me some throat lozenges yesterday but they didn't help at all.
Hopefully my cold clears soon. Ill try to sleep propped up tonight and see if that helps any. Im sure all that post nasal drip all night isn't helping one bit!
