runny nose

What can I take for cold like symptoms?

Ok this is gross but does help. disolve some pure salt in hot water and leave it to cool down. Then breath the warm saline up on side of your nose and spit it out your mouth, you need to hang over the sink. It clears out the sinuses and helps kill the breeding germs. Take a while to get used to it but is a common cure here in Spain.
Also Honey, lemon, ginger garlic and cayenne pepper in hot water. Tastes better than you would imagine and worls a treat, just go heavy onthe honey and light on the garlic. Hope you feel better soon.

Honey, lemon, ginger, garlic and cayenne pepper, interesting. I just happen to have all those things in my cabinet. Idk about taking something up my nose and out my mouth, since I got pregnant even brushing my teeth makes me gag and dry heave.

But I will try that drink mixture.

Thank you!

My mother in law thinks it may just be allergies because I spent all day yesterday outside but normally I am not allergic to anything, no pollen, no dust, no nothing. Is it possible for allergies to develope or higjten during pregnancy? Your sence of smell is up, why not allergies?

Actually allergies usually decrease due to a less sensitive immune system, although mine are all back with full force now. However my mum didn´t have any allergies until after she had me now she has lots, so i guess anything can happen.
It could be pregnancy rhinitis, some women suffer from that. Google it and see if it fits your symptoms.
Hope you are feeling better today.

You can drink tea with lemon and honey and eat bread with chopped garlic or onion, garlic is a natural antibiotic.
