I'm sick now too. I didn't take anything when i was sick (pregnant) and it took weeks to get better. Hopefully the meds the doc said you could take will work. But get some rest. and maybe drink OJ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-a-terrible-cold#post-230918 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 09:49:47 +0000 Mrsbells 230918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Drink plenty of fluids and lots of honey and lemon in hot water. I got a bad cold twice during my pregnancy and thats what kept me going </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-a-terrible-cold#post-230863 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 08:54:30 +0000 Adira 230863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my gosh, you sound like you have what I just had and it lasts FOREVER! I was really sick for four days and I'm STILL getting over (this is week 3). I didn't take anything though because I was only 5 weeks pregnant when I got sick and I was scared to take anything. I hope you feel better soon!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-a-terrible-cold#post-230858 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 08:49:11 +0000 Alivoo01 230858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry to hear you're under the weather. I also suggest the neti pot. It's great help in relieving congestion/sinus pressure. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-a-terrible-cold#post-230825 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 08:21:01 +0000 Grace 230825@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you are really desparate and brave enough, lots of people use neti pots (those things where you flush saline through your nasal cavities). They say it works wonders. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-have-a-terrible-cold#post-230822 Mon, 23 Jul 2012 08:17:06 +0000 littlebug 230822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, I have a horrible cold. I'm so congested, my whole face hurts. My nose is running like crazy. I'm sneezing. And having a horrible time breathing. And though I took my temperature and it read normal, I feel like I have a fever. I'm 15 weeks, so I called the on-call OB yesterday to find out what I could take (since I slept about 3 hours on Saturday). She said Tylenol cold and sinus, Dayquil, and Nyquil are all ok. I tried Dayquil yesterday and that didn't to squat, but at least the Nyquil helped me sleep. Today I'm trying the Tylenol stuff. </p> <p>I feel just awful, and really debated about coming to work, but don't want to burn through my sick days before maternity leave. Any tips from anyone out there? </p>
