I second the tea and honey. Also just take a tablespoon of honey every so often. Cough drops. A humidifier might help :). I always think it’s best to avoid the medication unless you really need it- make sure to keep an eye out, if your chest feels really congested you might want to get seen. There’s a nasty cough going around- I have it and am breast feeding. I’m really just upping my fluids and taking hot baths. Feel better!
