cold

[squirt_13]

Anyone else suffering from a cold... what did you take for it how long were you out from your work?

[MariaBeth]

My doctor suggested robitusin. It was better than nothing

I was told only saline nasal spray and THATS IT. I wouldn't take medication, but that's just me being cautious

I had in my first trimester and I was drinking lots of water and orange juice, homemade fresh ginger tea but my doctor said no to honey because of pregnancy it's not recommended..

I had a cough for about a month. I did Vicks, Cough drops and Gatorade....I have heard about the onion working even if you are sick it will help absorb the germs lingering. Good luck Mama!!!

Started getting one last night out of nowhere. Ugh

Sudafed there are two different kinds one with method and one without I believe it is get the one with out the extra drug talk to the pharmacy they know....

I just called the Dr. yesterday, I am 39 weeks 3 days and I don't want to have a cold when the baby comes. She told me I could only take mucinex, benadryl, Tylenol, claritin, and sudafed  (which surprised me). Drink lots of water and if you have a sore throat gargle with warm salt water, if the salt is too much you can add honey to it also, and drink hot tea. Hope you feel better soon!

Water is great but I've kept an onion in my room since being pregnant (yes an onion) and I have yet to get sick. I've had a couple she throats but nope not sick. I know it sounds weird but I know for a fact it's helped because I never fail to get sick EVERY SINGLE WINTER but I completely missed it this winter.

Yep, suffering right now... Its not pleasant. I do a fess sinus rinse as it's safe, will try Vicks tonight and just trying to rest and drink lots of water. Nothing much we can do but ride it out. I miss codral as my nose is so sore from blowing it! :-(
