Awful cough, please help!

Hello everyone,

To make this quick. I am 7 months pregnant. I have a 4 year old and 10 year old. About 2 and a half weeks ago my 4 year old caught a "summer cold" it was bad. He stayed home for a whole week. Then my 10 year old caught it 2 days after his brother. And of course, I'm home with them all the time taking care of them that eventually I got sick. It's been almost 2 weeks since I got sick and the rest of the symptoms went away except this God awful cough! It's dry and toad like with no phlegm. Sometimes I cough so hard I throw up. It was terrible last night, couldn't keep anything down. And sorry this is TMI but now it's gotten so bad that when I cough I pee. I know that's normal in pregnancy but I mean this is BAD. Like constant leakage and I soak through so many liners, underwear, pants or shorts and it's so bad my dresses get soaked. Sorry it's gross. But I never had this issue with my previous 2 pregnancies and I didn't have this issue prior to this cough showing up. I have the worse chest and throat pain. My head is killing me. Like I'm having a hard time getting up some mornings. Or I get dizzy with the cough. I've got 3 cool mist humidifiers in my house. One in my room, and the others in my kids rooms. I've been drinking nothing but water, or hot water with ginger, lemon, and honey. It soothes the throat in the moment of drinking it but then the cough starts acting up instantly. I've tried gargling hot water and salt. I take sooo many hot steamy showers. I refuse to take Tylenol cause I heard it can cause autism and if I'm being honest, my oldest is autistic and during his pregnancy I did indeed take tons of Tylenol. So I'm not gonna risk it. I was given the ok for Robitussin but limited. I took it once and felt it didn't work. I've been trying at home TCM remedies, all natural and safe, and nothing is working. And I practically live off of cough drops. I feel like (forgive my drama) but like I'm dying. Anyone been through this and have any advice? I can't take it anymore. 😭😰
