Not only do I have a teething, sleepless baby.. but now I think I'm getting sick. Fitting. I bet my immune system is shot from all of the sleepless nights.
Any good home remedies you can suggest? My only symptom is a sore throat but I know something else is looming. I know this because whenever I'm sick, I do a lot of dumb stuff like I am today. I shouldn't be allowed in the general population without supervision! haha, but seriously.

I just realized- I have been fortunate enough to evade any illnesses for over 2 years. No wonder I'm clueless about what to do to minmize the symptoms.

Cold-Eeze drops always help me.... and AirBorne. Any chance you can get someone to take care of your LO overnight to get a good nights sleep?:(
Feel better!

Thanks! I'll go to the store on the way home and pick stuff up. I can't get anyone to help with the baby because I'm nursing and she insists on being nursed each time she wakes up. Which is about every 2 hrs. Uggggggh...

Water Water and more Water. I know it sounds crazy but it really does help. It also helps to keep your supply up.
There are a lot of conflicting opinions on sudafed and antihistamines but I chose not to risk effecting my supply so I suffered through my last cold.
You could also look into some EmergenC which is helpful to keep up your vitamins to help fight off whatever you may have. Also drinking tea with honey can help wtih a soar throat!

Whenever my husband and I start to feel sick, we always echinacea + vitamin c. Works REALLY well for us.

Lots of water and rest are my secrets. I also throw a little Zicam and I'm usually good to go.

Thank you guys. I'm waiting to hear back from the pediatrician to be sure I can take the meds suggested. But I have definitely been drinking A LOT of water. I usually do, but even more so now. Which, by the way, renders me useless at work because I'm peeing all day! I'm pretty much useless anyway when I have a cold though.
