Bronchitis And Pregnancy.... Posted: 09-06-04 11:57am
Hey all. I've had a bad cold for several
days, and it's getting into my chest now.
I'm gonna go to the doctor tomorrow, but
i'm curious, what can they give me for it?
I know there must be some kind of
medicine that's safe. Does anyone know
what they prescribe?

Sounds just like me, for the first 8-9
weeks of my pregnancy I thought I had a
cold, went to my doctor and he gave me
beconase nasal spray (its a cortico
steroid but safe for use in pregnancy. I
only used it till my symptoms cleared up
and so far I have stayed congestion
free.
While it may feel like a cold (mine did),
it is actually "allergic rhinitis of
pregnancy" and more common than most
realise.
It gets to your chest because the mucus is
slipping down the back of your throat to
your lungs (i had several bad coughing
fits which produced loads of mucus from my
lungs - nice)

Say that sounds like what I have, I should
call my doctor and see if that is what I
possibly could have and try and get it
cleared up. It really isn't a very fun
thing to go through.
