Girls I need some help please

Last night I started to get a cough which I’m guessing is from the change in weather and what not. It’s a bad cough where I need to bring up phlegm. Today I have started to get sharp pains in my ribs and in my back/chest and it will come in waves, I’ve had it happen 3 times since this morning. Anyone know what this could be ?

I had the same could be heartburn xx

Mine been like from about 30 weeks I’m now 35 weeks as soon as I taken some Rennies they seem to help with the pain or could maybe be the position of the baby

@Charlie I already suffer with heartburn and it’s a completely different feeling, feels like it’s to do with my lungs or something as I’m not doing anything what so ever and I’m not breathing like I normally do. There will be stabbing pains in between my shoulder blades and down the sides of my ribs xx

It could be that it’s not just a cough and has developed into a chest infection. If the phlegm is green or yellow is suggests you have an infection. I would if you can see your gp or if it’s too late in the day call 111 and get and out of hours appointment asap. I have asthma and I had a similar issue a few weeks ago that ended up with me in hospital for a couple days mostly was to control my asthma. Drink plenty of fluids, steam will help loosen your chest and with the cough. And keep yourself propped up when sleeping to help ease your chest.

@Holly if I get anymore of these stabbing/sharp pains today I’m gonna call 111. But as of now my phlegm is still white as it only really came on during the night. I just feel so run down and sore x

Could be a chest infection, best to get checked ASAP and get on antibiotics if confirmed x Had one a few weeks ago, absolutely lethal, was coughing for 10 days no break, only antibiotics helped x I'd go GP asap
