Hot herbal tea with a lot of honey and lemon. If you have no tea, hot water with honey and lemon will do. Even just hot water helps. If you have anything minty or menthoily like vicks, muscle rub, etc, rub it on your chest. Also a heat pad on your chest helps a lot. You can put rice in a sock and tie it off. Put that in the microwave until it's nice and steamy warm, instant moist heat pad.
If you can get to a health food store within the next couple days, stock up on safe herbal remedies to colds, stomach aches, etc. This way you won't be S.O.L. if you get sick on a holiday weekend. Good luck, I hope it helps!

You can take cough lozenges and gargle with hot water and salt 2-3 times a day. If the cough does not subside you will have to take antibiotics under medial advice.
I would suggest taking Robitussin. It will not affect your baby but PLEASE CHECK WITH THE PHARMACIST BEFORE GOING AHEAD WITH IT - THEY ARE THE BEST PEOPLE TO HELP YOU.

hot water, lemon, honey and a shot of rum, wiskey...etc.. make a hot toddy. it wont hurt the baby and it will help with the cough. It will help you sleep.
or you could make a thick syrup with the lemon and honey ... soothing and tastes good. Hope you feel better
