Then I strained all the bits out and put in a bunch of honey, and drank that non stop for 2 days. It was soothing and the garlic is a natural anti-biotic/anti-viral. I think it cut down on the length of my cold! Other than that I sat in a room by myself and went through an entire box of Kleenex - I figured there can only be so much mucous in there, right?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cough-and-cold-in-early-pregnancy#post-1248631 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 23:18:15 +0000 HLK208 1248631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: getting these!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cough-and-cold-in-early-pregnancy#post-1248602 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 22:50:23 +0000 .twist. 1248602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BREATHE RIGHT STRIPS!! </p> <p>They saved my life. For serious. I used them mostly at night, but they were quite amazing.

I think my coworkers thought I was a sick mess. You just have to tough it out. I sucked on a lot of cough drops and drank lots of water. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cough-and-cold-in-early-pregnancy#post-1248049 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 18:14:31 +0000 HLK208 1248049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@night cheese: I'm 6.5 weeks and have had a cough/cold since getting my BFP.

I toughed it out since I didn't want to take meds. Took me over a week to recover - blah. Occasionally, I took a light dose of cold meds bc the congestion was unbearable. Using a nose spray helped tons too!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cough-and-cold-in-early-pregnancy#post-1246509 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 09:12:58 +0000 Mrs.Ham 1246509@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@night cheese: I had a horrible cough/cold when I got by BFP. It was miserable. I drank a lot of liquids, and tried to get a lot of rest. My doctor said I could take Sudafed too if need be. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/cough-and-cold-in-early-pregnancy#post-1246364 Wed, 27 Nov 2013 08:36:50 +0000 night cheese 1246364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 5 weeks and have a horrible cough and cold. Does anyone have any suggestions on ways to get through it without taking meds? I've been using my neti pot and sucking on hard candy but I still feel like total crap. </p>
