Judging by another post about stomach bugs... Looks like there's illness going around. Both my boss and my cubicle mate have had an awful cold/flu and it seems like they were oh so kind to pass it to me, despite all my lysoling efforts to avoid it.

The worst part is the awful sore throat. I can deal with the stuffy nose, but my throat hurts so much. I'm wondering if there are any lozenges that will help. I've read that menthol should be avoided.

I'll prob check with my doc today just to be sure. Any other tips/advice?

Worried about my little chicken, but everything I've read says catching colds during pregnancy is somewhat normal and we'll both be okay.
