When I suffer cough, usually cooking the pears in water, also put in some sugar. When the water becomes brown yellow, drink it. After that, I will feel better. But it depends, maybe it only fits me. So you can ask the doctor for professional advice.

The best thing is to call your doctor and ask his advice first. Sometimes they will allow a pregnant patient to take Tylenol but most don't. Lemon and honey water will help ease the cough. Lemon and honey in tea will make you feel better. The best penicillin in the world that is natural is chicken soup.
