Question

Not sure if this is a cold, allergies idk. It started with my kids last week now I have it but the cough when I lay down to sleep sucks my whole bottom belly muscles are sore it’s been like 5 days I’m taking elderberry syrup , hall’s , throat tea but to no avail. If you ladies have a better solution please do share:) ty!

Answer

Try Robitussin. I take the one that puts you to sleep at night. It helped when I had a bad cough in my second trimester and the doc had to put me on an inhaler.

Answer

I am not that far along, but I am battling roughly the same symptoms. Sore throat, congestion in face, and a nice cough - negative for COVID and no fever. 
I have been taking Robitussin elderberry for 2 days now which helps with my cough immensely. I do a warm, salt water gargle in the morning and again at night before I go to bed to clean the back of my throat. And I take spoonfuls of honey to coat my throat in the morning, lunch time, and before I go to bed. I sleep with a humidifier on with a Vic’s pad in it and my bed can elevate, so I keep myself propped up all night so the mucus isn’t pooling in the back of my throat. Stack pillows up or sleep on the couch to keep you elevated. That’s the best I got. I’m over the hump after 3 days. Best of luck!😩
