Anyone else been SUPER sick?

How do you deal with it? Both my ears and sinuses are infected, I cant stop coughing, my chest and upper back are really hurting when I breathe, im hot then cold then hot again, and im throwing up. Im on 500 mg keflex, 4mg zofran, taking cough drops and tums but nothing is getting better.... only worse. Ive tried crackers, 7up, soup, hot showers, chugging water and still nothing. Any ideas on how to just feel a little better?

How many weeks are you? If you are in you're in your first trimester there isnt much you can do. You actually remind me of myself.... oh how I was sick! It doesnt stay this way, soon the sickness will vanish & you will feel much much better/start to enjoy your pregnancy. You should also speak with your OBGYN if worsens. Btw gingerale used to work well for me. Goodluckk !
