I do this when my allergies get bad from my cats ^^ (;
If you have a wax warmer put 2 teaspoons of water and 1 large teaspoon of vicks vapor rub where the wax goes. It did absolute wonders to my "smoker/flu/mucusy" cough in just a few days. Definitely helps w congestion and the snottiness (:
A yes the commen cold that everybody hates. Lol make some nice chicken soup with lots of vegi and put vicks on your nose and throat and chest to help you breath and lay down the coughing
OH MY LORD! I AN NOT THE ONLY ONE?! Lol, I'm 35 weeks and have been having the same issues. Believe me, the baby is fine, lol. If me having food poisoning back in February didn't harm him, I am pretty sure sneezing and coughing won't do anything. :)
