    Dear Buddy,

    Consult a Doc.

    Alternately, you can add a TSP full of turmeric powder in two - three sips of boiled milk and drink.

    Immediately drink ordinary milk as well. Take these just before bed. Along with this, you can chew three - four pepper corns. You can take pepper powder with Ghee. These are all the best remedies for your dry cough.

    Best of Luck

    Thanks, Warm Regards & May GOD Bless

    I feel your pain! I have the same problem at almost 7 months. Take Tums or another such antacid tablet available from the drugstore. I take Tums because my doctor recommended it, and the label says "for adults and pregnant women". It's also a calcium supplement, perfectly safe and it works wonders. Also, try to stay away from oily and/or acidic foods (orange juice is the worst!) But if you can't, or if ANYTHING gives you heartburn, antacid tablets will help.

    Honey, 1/4tsp of cayenne pepper and A TINY BIT OF RUM...im talking 1/4 to 1/2 shot. Small quantities are safe, cooking sherry would have more alcohol content than that small amount. So don't worry it wont hurt your baby. One should do trick. Sub lemon or lime juice if you dont want the rum. Heat up, stir drink
