Hello, Cold Season

tarier

I woke up this morning with a full blown cold.  Afraid to take any meds since I'm only 6 weeks.  First trimester is gonna be more rough than I anticipated, ya'll.

I'm on the couch with horrible aches in my joints and chills and a sore throat. Thank God my In laws are in town and can help with my other kids. Ugh. It sucks being sick and pregnant. Threw up twice but not sure if that's pregnancy or sickness.

We all have a bit of a cold in my house (runny nose, sneezing mostly), but it's definitely that time of year. I hope everyone feels better soon!

I'm just barely coming out of the flu and a lovely ear infection. For the ear thing i got antibiotics. Otherwise this is what the OB said for flu/cold :

Tylenol max 500mg per dose (so follow that 4-6 hrs thing)
Benadryl for sleep regular dose of two pills at night.
Plain Robitussin for cough no more than recommended dose.
Zinc cough drops, but not zicam.
Any other cough drops
Basic saline nose spray
Steamy showers
Lots and lots of tea, and soup and fluids.

It SUCKS because those pills don't so shit! I was miserable!

I'm sorry for all of you feeling sick. I promise it will pass. But know I feel your pain.

Feeling your pain. I'm dealing with a full blown sinus infection right now. The neti pot is helping some, but man am I miserable. And ditto on the feeling for my students tomorrow. They better toe the line, ha!

Update: I got a call from my dr saying the strep cultures they sent out came back positive. Great. That's three in one: strep, ear infection AND the flu. All wrapped into a pretty package.
It's been a hellish week. I just need to shake this stupid cough that won't go away.

Cold here, too.  Everyone in my house has one now.  My husband is taking meds and still complaining....almost makes me want to throat punch him. Lol!
