Suggest Treatment For Severe Cough With Yellow Mucous And Chest Pain During Pregnancy

Hello, I m a 21 yo pregnant female and all of a sudden started coughing two weeks ago. They started as a dry cough, kind of hacking, but nothing would come up even tho it felt like something was in there. Then about a week later i started coughing up a little white or yellow mucus and bubbly saliva, it felt like slime, like on a frog or fish, and the bubbly saliva gets caught up in the back or my throat making it hard to breathe and even make me dry heave and throw up. It doesn t seem to bother me at night but in the day i m coughing constantly and it seems worst after noon. There s a small pain in my chest after a coughing fit, right in the middle above my breast, and now my lower abdomen hurts whenever I cough because it seems I m coughing so much.

well this started as pharyngitis and when no medication or treatment was sought progressed to lung infection. i wont be surprised if you would also have fever episodes. if your pregnancy is in second trimester then you can take:
tab azithromycin 500mg once a day for 5 days + tab paracetamol 500mg twice a day for 3 days. take steam inhalation thrice a day especially before going to bed.
this should help.
