6 Weeks Pregnant here (I know, I gotta get me one of those tickers things!).
Last night I started to feel my throat hurting, and I immediately went into a bit of a panic mode because for me it indicates that a cold is coming. A couple hours later, I got the symptoms of a cold. I am praying that it's going to be over quicker than my normal cold. I was at a convention last week, so I think that's where I got it from (I normally am a Stay-home-wife, so, I don't go out that often).
However, it's the matter of what I can take and can't take that's driving me BONKERS!
I've been drinking water, and using Vicks Vapor Rub, etc, but since I really don't want to let "nature takes its course" as I normally do, so hence why I would like some relief with drugs.
Doing research online is really making me scared/nervous of what to take and what not to take.
It has been said many times that Mucinex DM is a no-no, yet Mucinex is fine (Guaifenesin alone). However, Robitussin-DM is fine and safe. And this and that.
Okay...I'm UTTERLY confused. Sure I can call my doctor, but office is closed today, and I really want to just relieve the symptoms and help my body fight off the cold.
Heck, I even did the Apple Cider Vinegar mix (that actually seem to help a little).
Anyone got slightly lost like I am when trying to find what's safe and what's not?
On a positive note - I told my husband, "You know what, I haven't had buffalo Chicken wings in a long time. Would you make it this week?" He chuckled and said, "I think you just had your first craving..." LOL!
