So instead of the dreaded morning sickness I have a nasty cold. It is getting worse everyday it seems. It has now moved into my chest. If it continues to get worse I will mention it at my Dr apt on Tues. For now I was wondering what you lovely ladies take or do for your colds? Any help would be grateful.

Stalking this thread - I just started getting a sore throat and head cold yesterday and I'll be 36 weeks tomorrow... First time being sick this whole pregnancy so I guess I should count myself lucky.

Hands down the absolute best thing for sore throats is chicken broth. Even a chicken stock cube in a mug of boiling water does the trick!

Well so far for a stuffy nose and sinuses it is a saline wash or steam, and LOTS of water. Then eating Vitamin rich foods. I have a giant pineapple I will have to cut into today!! For my itchy throat lozenges are what is recommended. Other wise ladies we get to suck it up and rest!!

Problem is I am going to have a very busy weekend! So I am sure things will get a little bit worse before better!!

Tylenol and nasal sprays (certain ones you can check online) are ok to take. Just make sure to watch your temperature. If you run a fever take tylenol to reduce the fever and call the doctor.

Elderyberry, Ecinacea (sp?), and Vitamin C from Sambuguard. Best stuff ever! It even worked when i had laryngitis when nothing pharmaceutical did!

Elderberry, Umcka cough and cold syrup (LOVE it!!), capcasin nasal spray, and lots and lots of water! I was plagued with colds through this pregnancy in the winter!

All of these are wonderful ideas. Thank you all for sharing!!

I am feeling a bit better, but still sneezing the odd time, but at least I can breath now!!

1 liter of green tea with lots of lemon per day.

Chicken noodle soup. Might be as much mental as physical, but it always makes me feel better.
