I m 30 weeks pregnant and I ve had a horrible cough for over a month now, now I have a sore throat and it is really red and swollen. And I get to where I feel like somebody is sitting on my chest and can t breath! Some days I cough up some phlegm but most days it s a dry cough! I wake up some nights and Im wheezing horribly each breath! I let my OB know 2 weeks ago and she prescribed me benzonatate and they haven t helped me at All it seems like. I m so miserable I feel tired all the time and short of breath. Is there any home remedies I can take or should I go to the ER?!

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hearing about these symptoms that you are experiencing. A persistent sore throat and difficulties to breath associated with wheezing should warrant a closer look by a doctor. The duration is concerning and the visibly read and swollen tonsils require proper examination and management. a visit to your primary care physician should be able to help resolve this problem.

I hope you find this helpful. I wish you the best of health. Thank you so much for using our services and doo feel free to request for more information if need be.
