I remember with DS, I got a really bad cold that lasted from 38-40 weeks. It was awful. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-sick-and-pregnant-help-me#post-2332478 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 10:11:00 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2332478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Robitussin was approved by my OB. I took that plus gargled with salt water and it made a huge difference. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-sick-and-pregnant-help-me#post-2332474 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 10:01:09 +0000 ladybee 2332474@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I called the OB on call and she said I could take regular mucinex, sudafed or robitusion. She also said if I wanted she'd call in an antibiotic. I said um no thanks. My in laws are coming to get DS so I can rest. Then I'm going to head to the store. I've had pneumonia in the past so it is a concern of mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-sick-and-pregnant-help-me#post-2332467 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 09:48:03 +0000 DesertDreams88 2332467@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aside from pp's recommendations, my #1solution for a sore throat is a humidifier 24/7. I even have one in my classroom and turn it on at least once a week preventatively. Most of my sore throats are due to talking too much and/or the dry AZ air, but.... worth a shot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-sick-and-pregnant-help-me#post-2332434 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 08:39:10 +0000 mamabolt 2332434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Neti pot can also help with the congestion and sore throat from post nasal drip. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-sick-and-pregnant-help-me#post-2332432 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 08:36:34 +0000 ModernDayJibarita 2332432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1/4 cup of honey<br /> Squeeze a lemon and mix with honey<br /> Microwave for 30 secs. </p> <p>Also drinking some tea ( Roobios tea is caffeine-free and safe in pregnancy) might help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-sick-and-pregnant-help-me#post-2332409 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 07:48:10 +0000 blackbird 2332409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took regular robitussin.

Confirm with your OB first. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-sick-and-pregnant-help-me#post-2332387 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 07:06:36 +0000 iluvboba637 2332387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pregnant and a few weeks ago I had a sinus infection and a fever for 4 days. My ob prescibred me an antibiotic. I swear it worked miracles bc my fever was not budging without it. Call your OB if you're really miserable and see what they could do. I wasn't really sure I wanted any meds but my OB said the antibiotic was safe and said it's better to treat the infection and bring he fever down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-sick-and-pregnant-help-me#post-2332384 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 06:57:42 +0000 travellingbee 2332384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mucinex! And salt water gargle </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-sick-and-pregnant-help-me#post-2332383 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 06:54:05 +0000 Little Misters Mom 2332383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cepacol lozenges. They don't taste great (I don't mind the honey flavor) and completely numb your throat. I hate the sprays because they only give a few seconds relief, but the lozenges work the whole time they are in your mouth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-sick-and-pregnant-help-me#post-2332382 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 06:45:37 +0000 regberadaisy 2332382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry! Agree with gargling with salt water and honey. Drink lots of hot tea with honey.</p> <p>Keep and eye on that cough and chest congestion so that it doesn't turn into pneumonia! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-sick-and-pregnant-help-me#post-2332372 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 06:32:19 +0000 MrsSRS 2332372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This homemade/natural cold medicine is not very tasty, but it works.<br /> In a shot glass put:<br /> 1 T apple cider vinegar<br /> 1 T honey<br /> 1 pinch cayenne<br /> 2 pinches ground ginger or 1/4t fresh mi cropland<br /> Fill the rest with hot water and stir<br /> Do it like a shot three or four times a day. Maybe have a little honey on a spoon and stick it in your mouth right after the shot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-sick-and-pregnant-help-me#post-2332371 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 06:23:21 +0000 macintosh 2332371@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I'm sorry you're sick. I was so sick at the end of my pregnancy, it was awful. Personally, I'd use chloraseptic throat spray. You may want to check with your dr first. I also took mucinex when pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-sick-and-pregnant-help-me#post-2332365 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 06:09:24 +0000 avivoca 2332365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Gargle with salt water and take honey to help your throat. It will coat it and give you some relief. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-sick-and-pregnant-help-me#post-2332364 Sat, 24 Oct 2015 06:05:50 +0000 ladybee 2332364@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 24 weeks. Last week my son (2) came down with a chest cold that turned into an ear infection and sinus infection. Now I've completely lose my voice, have a terrible cough and my throat is raw. Is there anything I can do besides push fluids? If I had to pick, I'd say my throat is the worse part. </p> <p>Also, I'm a teacher with no sick time so I've got to push through. </p>
