im 26 weeks pregnant, and i have a very bad chest cold. symptoms include coughing and sore/swollen throat. I have also been getting horrible headaches daily and nothing seems to work. Is this something I should worry about? Should I go to the hospital or should i let it run its course?
Hi, Chat Doctor.  I welcome you to Chat Doctor VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. Furthermore, I will suggest you the best possible treatment options. As such during pregnancy your immunity system is a bit on lower side. This makes you more prone for infections. What you are saying can be upper respiratory infection. I will suggest having warm salt water gargles after every meal and steam inhalation when possible. Also, Tab vitamin C 500 mg twice a day for ten days will be of help. Besides, Cap Among Clan 625 mg twice a day for 5 days and anti-cold tablets and cough syrup as needed. Please avoid cold beverages and deep-fried foods and bakery products. I hope this answer helps you. Thanks
