Suggest Remedy For Cough And Fever In Pregnancy
Hello, I am 12 weeks and 2 days pregnant. In the ER a week ago they found a cyst and subchorionic collections on my ovaries. I have been coughing up phlegm that is greenish yellow for a week and now I have a fever of 99.4. Should I get this checked out immediately or wait?

HI,
Welcome to HCM,
I read your query and i appreciate your concern regarding this issue.
If i will be your treating doctor i would suggest you to take
- I would start you on amoxicilin/clavulanic acid 625mg thrice a day for 7 days. (It is a prescription medicine so you need to visit nearest doctor to get it)
- Take acetaminophen for pain & fever
as these are safe in pregnancy.
- Take hot water in a cup, add 1 table spoon salt in it. Perform gargles (mouth wash) with it three times a day for at least 3 days. It will give soothing effect.
- take your vitamins regularly.
- Take healthy balanced diet.
Do not worry about fluid it will resolve itself.
- Go for regular checkups and Ultrasound.
If symptoms remain same after a week then visit hospital.
Hope so it will be helpful.
You can write again in case of any query or follow up.
Wish you good health.
Regards
