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.
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?
