Can anybody advise if I can take anything for catarrh or a possible chest infection while I'm pregnant (20 weeks)?


I'm currently waiting for NHS Direct to call me back with some advice. I went to the pharmacy in Boots yesterday + got some catarrh pastilles, but it's got much worse + now I have a really hard cough + a temperature.


Is it worth trying to get an emergency doctors appointment before the weekend or will they just tell me they can't prescribe anything?


Thanks x

Yes I had this too and got really nasty - left it too long because I didn't want to take antibiotics. I was a bi further along in my pregnancy and the almost constant coughin was so uncomfortable with the baby. Antibiotics were the only thing that started to shift it so I wish I had gone for them sooner. Good luck, hope you get better fast.

Thanks for all your advice. I went to see a doctor, but it turned out to be a viral infection so I can't take anything anyway. Lots of honey, lemon + fresh ginger for me. After 5 days it seems to be getting a little bit better though.


Thanks again.

There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor.
