Cannot fight this cold!!

I'm fighting a cold and the cold is winning!! I've had it since a few days before xmas. It's not as bad as when it started but I'm dealing with a dry/tickly cough and lots of head congestion- everything that comes out from either my head or when I can actually bring up phlegm is a greeny yellow.
Any preggies have miracle concoctions they use when sick? I've been drinking sooo many fluids and I've been taking extra vit C!!

If you phlem is yellow/green then you could have an infection and I would contact your Dr. There are some medications you can safely take. You just dont want it to develop into something like pnemonia which can affect the baby.

I was lucky that I didn't get many colds while pregnant and all mine were really short lived. Have you talked to your doctor about it at all? It's possible it could have progressed into something else. I know that what you've got is something that seems to be going around right now.
