Sick!

Hey Mommas. I read a few posts where people wanted to know home remedies for a cold. I am interested in what OTC meds worked? I need something so I can keep up with my LO!

    I would be interested in knowing too because I work in a child care center I know that I will be getting a cold in my near future.  The last time I was pregnant I remember getting sick and not being allowed to take much of anything.  Going to see my midwife soon so maybe she will have some suggestions.

    Mucinex (without decongestant), neti pot, and unisom for sleep got me through it. My naturopath approved all three. Also essential oils topically can be a big help. I liked peppermint and Eucalyptus on my feet at night, and Vicks vapo rub under my nose. GL! Oddly, the Vicks and essential oils also distracted me from nausea!

    Run a humidifier.  Put Vicks on your feet with socks over it.  Vicks, vicks and more vicks.   Odwalla makes a juice called C monster that is a great way to load on lots of vitamins too.  Get as much as rest as you can!  I nursed my son until he was 2 and then got pregnant probably the day I stopped nursing.. so I haven't been able to take anything in about 3 years; this is works for me.. I have not been sick longer than 2 days in those 3 years.

    I called my OB today b/c I have a sinus thing and fever. She told me to use either Sudafed or Robitusson "without letters at the end" like DM and stuff like that. I just double checked with the pharmacist before I bought it to make sure I wasn't missing anything.
