Does anyone have any home remedies for a tickly cough? I can't lay down without constantly coughing and I've hurt my…

honey in boiled water? x

Yeah I've been having honey and lemon, I've gone through 8 lemons in the last two days as well. Really sucks at the best of times let alone at 35 weeks

I'll have a look out for those where can u buy them do u know?@deedee1988

usually get mine from asda around a pound a pack , oh had cough and flu last week and gave them him, he said theyre the only thing that worked for him this time so worth a shot

My husband asked at the chemist for me when I had my bad cough/ chest infection & they said kids tixylix was safe to take as there's not really anything in it. It may just help take the edge off.

Thanks @deedee1988 and I'll try the honey and glycerin kids stuff I hadn't thought of that actually. I do have some in the kitchen I'll try some at bed time. Doesn't help in the last two weeks I'm not able to breathe through my nose again due to the pregnancy, and I'm mouth breathing so I dry out constantly then it makes me cough loads. The one time u need to drink tonnes and u don't need the constant work out trying to roll out the bed for the toilet every 30 mins lol

@sara-lou,

Warm juice with honey, vimto is my fav when ill xx

@suzie80, There's one thing that sounds very very strange but it did help me. Rub Vicks on the back of your feet and put your socks on and sleep with that overnight. By the morning apparently your cough will have gone. It does work I've tried it as silly and ridiculous as it sounds xx. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-3386281/Can-smothering-FEET-Vicks-cure-cough-Users-claim-a

I've heard of it but wasn't sure @saraelisa think I only have snuffle babe in the house and not full strength stuff tho 😂

I've just nipped out to get some saline spray and more throat lozenges and some ginger. I have like 5 different throat lozenges now. All crappy ones as I'm pregnant. Got some mouth rinse for mouth and throat infections in the hope I can stop the dam tickle. I honestly feel like someone is knifing me across my bump every time I cough. It absolutely kills. And to top it off cos I can't cough productively as I'm so big the dam infection is still bubbling away at the bottom of my lung. I can't see any sleep tonight. I can't not drink every 5 mins or suck on something or I'm hacking. This is a miserable way to spend the last part of pregnancy. Normally takes a few weeks to go, not like I can manage much less sleep now.

@saraelisa,

@suzie80, I'm hoping it will clear up quickly for you it's Sod's law, even when I sneeze the pain is real so to be coughing must be making your muscles hurt and sore😖. Hope the remedies help especially the ginger maybe add some honey and lemon. What can one do but just rest up. Who once said we had to embrace the bad with the good eh? Not joking. We have so much to deal with and the extras come along with it. I hope that you do rest well tonight despite the odds, will be thinking about you Hun x
