  • Try eating less. Eat smaller portions of well balanced meals. I've had the same problem, I tried everything and medications and all. I tried eating less and it worked. If you're already eating good (small meals) then perhaps exercise and drinking alot of water will help.
  • I am 39 weeks pregnant, And have an awful chest infection, my doctor prescribed me some penicillin but that has not yet helped.

  • Hello i'm 33weeks pregnant at the moment and i'm 24 years old and a smoker as well. Lately for about a week i have been having this bad cough.
    I cough so bad i pee myself and its not a little bit, i have to change my undies all the time. When i'm coughing too much i tend to get hot and flustard witch makes the coughing more worse, it ends up making it diffecult for me too breath. Sometimes i spew, sometimes my flem is foamy and sometimes it's green gunky stuff. When i have been coughing to much i tend to get a headache. I drink alot of water to help it and sometimes that works. Since i've been on my 3rd trimester i have been lacking on sleep and i am so tired. please if any1 has any advice please don't hesitate to comment back. Nga mihi (Thank you)
