I had a cold for two weeks bei.g pregnant ur immune system is low. Dr said i can take benadryl, tussin, cough drops, ohand throat spray to help. So i took benadryl to sleep at night and for the cough and tussin for the mucus and cough. And i just had alot chicken broth and tea with honey. I didnt use the drops or spray. But good luck i know it will suck. Sorry

Theres no worry in going to the doctor i am saying what my midwife told me . Flu or colds can be passed on to your baby . And advised to go to doctor thats all im saying .i dont live in the states if you get a bug you cant just lie at home ill and do nothin but drink tea you have to see a doctor and if he says yeh your fine drink tea . Then thats fine. Like i said just saying what i was told by a professional and passing it on . If she feels really unwell to go see a doctor.

Lol she wasn't being rude she was just worried about that advice. And its true but I don't think its different where you live if anti biotics don't work on viruses I don't think the state or country will make difference  just guessing here . but if you like super I'll to the point you just can't function or I to much pain I suggest you go to the doctor. If your just super sniffly and stuffed up id go with the tea super. It does wonders

Its different where you live !! My midwife told me if i feel atall unwell , ATALL meaning cold flu anything . To go to the doctors and they will give you certain tablets or remedys. That they recommend . Cause anything can pass onto baby if you havnt had your flu jab. She could have a bug . Thats all im saying no need to be like that ! Im saying what i been told thats all !

OMG  you don't take antibiotics for cold! Cold and flu are virus, antibiotics are for bacterial infections and have no effect of viruses

Anyways.. I would take ginger, just boil some ginger and chicken and make a soup. It's wonderful for cold :) also, you can take ecchinacea or propolis, natural herbs for cold!

Good luck and hope you feel better soon

You need to go straight to the doctor , i was told if you feel atall ill or come down with cold or flue like symtoms you must go to your gp where they will give you antibiotics cause if your ill can pass it on to baby nothing to worry about though but go see your doctor .

Drink tea like 3 times a day or more if you want! I always drank chamomile/manzanilla because I love it and it makes me feel better but drink something that's good for whatever your feeling

I didn't mind the Tylenol tho when I got like so sick I couldn't move I drank tea took some Tylenol for sinus relief and halls and I was better in a week !
