Someone please tell me a miracle cure!!!

[Cat]

I have had a cold for the last couple of weeks and the sore throat is really getting me down. Ican hardly talk its in constant pain and Ihave coughing fits that make me vomit. OH and I cant sleep in the same bed as Imake to much noise keep coughing and retching, and I can only find really mild strepsils to take during pregnancy, I cant even take the decent ones that numb your throat.

Poor me!

Can you not have lemsip whist your PG?

Nah I think it contains ibuprofen as well as paracetamol or something,

 

[Wobbles]

Lemsip max cold & flu drinks contain:
paracetamol, phenylephrine hydrochloride also contains ascorbic acid (vit c), sucrose & aspartame!

tabs contain:
paracetamol, phenylephrine hydrochloride, caffine - also contains tartrazin (e102)

gargling with tcp works a treat

Sucking icecubes works for me too.

Or the good old honey and lemon in warm water.
