Chesty Cough & Cold

Hey everyone, i need some help.

I have a chesty cough for about a week now, and a sore throat. I have seen both my pharmacist and my GP who have said because i’m pregnant (8+2) just try go without any non essential drugs and let it run its course.

The coughing is keeping me awake at night, my SO has had to sleep on the couch for 5 days and my body is starting to ache.

Can anyone recommend anything safe or natural to help clear it up?

TIA.
