Pregnant getting over flu, I wheeze when I lay down just finished ampicillin, still coughing white sputum?

I am 20 weeks pregnant I have been sick for over two weeks , just finished ampicillin cause I was sick with flu stuff for too long the md said, now I have a cough with white sputum and wheezy when I lay down I cough so hard sometimes I drip urine nasal drainage is clear any ideas of what can be causing this or what I should do????

antibiotics don't help the flu. you must've developed some kind of respiratory condition which is why the ampicillin for a pregnant woman. the prblem is that you're preggers and there are very few things you can take to alleviate the symptoms which is all you can really do for the flu. macrobid is an antibiotic that pregnant women can take but it doesn't work as well with respir problems as it does with urinary problems. call your doc and ask for a longer schedule of ampicillin. you can take it twice a day for up to 14 days. a more suitable drug would be augmentin (amoxicillin/clavulanate potassium) which i am fairly certain has low pregnancy risks and is teh better choice to fight the nasal conditon and the lung congestion. ampicillin doesn't cross the membranes necessary to fight sinusitis which means you'll continue to drain into your lungs and that will never clea up either. look up augmentin, ampicillin, and amoxicillin on rxlist.com for more info.
