So my first real illness of this winter has finally hit. What do you do when you're stuffed up? No decongestants... that's what made me dry up (lactation suppressant!) when I was nursing Wagon Jr. !!!
-
neti pot! vapor rub! and the humidifier helped a TON. good luck! and feel better, buddy!
-
Oh nooo. I have the humidifier on, lots of steamy showers, little noses drops for me too (LO has her own). Feel better!
-
aww sorry! hope you feel better soon.
I've been stuffed up since I got pregnant! Freaking nostrils need to clear up! neti pot helps!
-
Ugh - so sorry you are sick! I was there a couple weeks ago... I didn't take anything an my milk supply still went way down, still working to get it fully back! I did steam, hot tea, lots of liquids and all natural chest rubs!
-
yikes that is good to know about the decongestants! i second the neti pot.
-
@Mrs. Cowgirl: @sorrycharlie: @chopsuey119: thanks friends!!!
@hellobeeboston: oh man, this is my fear... I gotta stay hydrated because LMW is eating more and more every day!! Gahh.
-
Neti pot all the way! Lots of hot ginger tea & baths, I swear by Airborne (even though its just a multi vitamin).
I hope you feel better!! -
Neti pot and maybe something with phenylephrine? It's a decongestant but not nearly as strong as say Sudafed. Normally, dosage for its like 5-10mg.
-
I'm with you too.... as is LO. We have 2 humidifiers going all day and night right now, steamy showers etc. Ugh.
-
You can try Hydrasense. It's like the Neti Pot but cheaper! Feel better soon!
-
I don't have remedies but I feel your pain! The worst problems caused by congestion for me today have been using mouthwash (impossible when you can't breathe through your nose!) and eating a lollipop (awkward to do with an open mouth, impossible to do otherwise).
I've been stuffed up since I got pregnant! Freaking nostrils need to clear up! neti pot helps!
