   Honey is about the only thing i would recommend. And ofcourse humidifier…drink water…make sure your throat is not dry. Try sleeping in a more upright position so that your head is elevated. Possibly some Vicks vapor rub. I believe it says to consult a doctor when pregnant but my doctor told me i could use it.

   Hope I helped! Good luck with everything!

   Was going to suggest a spoonful of honey but you have already tried that. You could also look into hiring or buying a humidifier that may help with your breathing too. Although a little old fashioned whenever we had a chesty type of cough I always used Vicks chest rub - Anything that helps you breathe a little easier should help settle the cough a little bit. You could also inhale some of this in steaming water. If you are getting fed up with the honey try some barley sugar lollies … and also a good option in dealing with any nausea. Keep up your fluids, try to avoid changes in temperature and take things easy. Hope you feel better soon.

   Honey-orange-lemon syrup. This soothes the throat and reduces the cough reflex. What to do: After washing them, cut three oranges and two lemons into quarters. Put the fruit with rinds into a pan and add one cup of honey and enough water to just cover the fruit. Simmer, covered, until the fruit has become very soft (usually about two hours). Remove the fruit pieces, store the liquid in a glass jar and refrigerate. Take one tablespoon every three hours. Alternative: An herbal cough syrup that contains honey and wild cherry bark… zinc lozenges… or slippery elm lozenges.

   Onion poultice. The beneficial compounds in this remedy help ease inflammation associated with a cough. What to do: Chop up one large yellow onion and gently sauté it in vegetable oil until transparent. Then add two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar and one-half cup of cornmeal. Cover and let it sit for five minutes. Place a 12" x 12" piece of clean flannel or soft cotton under hot tap water and wring it out. Have a dry second piece of cloth, a hot water bottle or heating pad, and a helper nearby. Lie down (facedown and barebacked) with pillows under your face and chest. Your helper should put the moist, warm flannel over your back, from the shoulders to the mid-back (over your lungs). He/she should then spread the onion/vinegar/cornmeal mix over the wet cloth and cover it with the dry cloth. A hot water bottle or heating pad (set at moderate heat) should be placed on top of the dry cloth. If you are suffering from a cough, applying this remedy for 20 minutes at night will help you get a good night’s sleep. Alternative: Vicks VapoRub ointment or cream, applied to the back or chest.

   Hydration. Soothing herbal tea can both hydrate you and curb coughing. What to do: Mix together herbs that help thin mucus and make it easier to cough up from the respiratory tract — elecampane, marshmallow root, mullein, wild cherry bark and anise — in equal amounts. Add one tablespoon of the herbal mix to 12 ounces of water. Gently simmer, covered, for six minutes. Strain, sweeten with honey and sip up to four cups daily. Alternative: A premixed blend containing some or all of these herbs.

   Symptoms are most important.Generally a non smoker develops cough due to seasonal temperature changes if you cough when shifting from cold to hot or v.v or while changing clothes then you a sure patient of ACONITE 200 in Homeopathy IF not try and observe what U R allergic to any food/drink even medium of cooking can cause or pollen. A general anti- allergic in Homeopathy is RUMEX CRISPUS. Instead of taking cough drops try powdered liquorice with honey OR just chew a small stub of liquorice. If you have cold and catarrh too then Belladonna and Bryonia will be helpful

   This is probably just a placebo or an old wive’s tale, but my mother used to give me a chewable vitamin C tablet to suck on (not chew), and it always worked for me.

   Why are you coughing? are you ill? I developed asthma at 29 weeks, I was 32 years old, never had it before but the pregnancy was the trigger. If you’re sick that’s fine, but make sure it isn’t anything else more serious.

   Put Vicks vaporub all over the bottoms of your feet, then some thick socks. Sleep tight!
