I woke up Saturday morning with a lot of congestion, a scratchy throat, and a bit of a cough. Ive called my doctors office but have yet to receive a call back. My throat is now super dry and sore and the congestion is a lot worse. My husband is having the same problem but of course he can take whatever medecine he wants. Is there anything you ladies could recommend for me whether it be medicine of some homemade stuff, I'd truly appreciate it.

I'm sorry girl! That is no fun! I'd take delsym (I'm pretty sure that's the name of it) it works wonders on the throat!

Try sudafed it works good for congestion and safe during pregnancy.

Chamomile tea with honey and a squirt of lemon. I promise this is almost instant relief! I use it when I get strep, and especially now being pregnant, I wake up congested and scratchy-throated a lot. Hope you feel better!
