Bronchitis while pregnant

I am 17 weeks now, and I have had bronchitis for almost two months! I have been to the doctor twice, and ER once. I have had two different antibiotics, a cough syrup, an inhaler and breathing treatments. It just won't go away! I am sick of these chest...

pains, and the gooey gobbers I cough up almost constantly. It's gross and painful. Is this going to be something I have to deal with for the rest of my pregnancy? My nose runs a lot, is it because of that? I just hate that the doctors can't seem to find what I need to get rid of it for good!

Musinex is good for that but beeing pregnat not to sure if you can take. Ask your pharm. if they can suggest anything. That sucks!

Just go back to the doctors. Dont wait and dont miss any meds. I had brochitist and turned into Pneumonia !! I was sooo sick and tired that I never got out of bed for weeks, and never went to the doctor, well just to be diagnost for Brochitist, then it turned into something sooo worse !! I was in the hospital for 1 week with Pneumonia and you talk about chest pains, and coughing !! You had better keep up with the doctors, and just keep on your toes with the check ups, If you go to the doctors again, make sure you do a follow up when your done with your meds, you may need something stronger, or even a Kat scan of your lungs.
Good Luck !!

I had bronchitis from the time I was 8 until I was 25! I tried all the cures, inhalers, steroids, vicoden cough syrup, vicoden tablets, every cough syrup ever made, mucinex tablets, EVERYTHING!!! I finally broke down before my wedding and went to a naturopath. She gave me Kali Carbonicum 200c. you can pick up kali carbonicum 30c at any whole foods or natural store. It comes in a blue vial and is little white beads. follow the instructions and it should cure you and not harm your baby. I would contact a naturopath if I were you.
