You must tell any caregiver (including dentists & chiropractors) that you are pregnant so that he/she knows how to treat you. When I was 25 weeks preggo I had a bad cough too and it threw my back out as well. The doctor told me to take Mucinex with Guafinessin (500 mg). Always consult your doctor first before taking anything, even over the counter medications...including antacids. Congrats & best of luck. Mother of 14 week old.
If it lasts longer then a week and you have a fever go to the doctor. If you can't sleep call and ask what medications are safe during pregnancy. Or they should've given you a list. I had a bad cold and couldn't sleep a couple days ago and my doctor told me to take sudafed the kind behind the pharmacy I didn't want to but I needed sleep I only took one dose and It cleared up the next day.
