Sick with a cold?

Alright ladies ive been stuck in bed for three days with a cold so bad my nose is non functional, my tummy aches from coughing and sneezing, and nothing seems to help. What have you used to help with congestion? Thanksgiving is alnost here and i need to get this cold on lockdown! Thanks in advance!

Re: Sick with a cold?

  • I'm currently having my third head cold of this pregnancy and it's making me nuts.  Really hard to sleep, as I can't breathe, and the pressure in my head is numbing.

    The best things I've come up with have been using a Neti Pot regularly-- it really helps clear the sinus cavity out!! And taking raw cloves of garlic a few times a day-- it's gross but garlic is a natural antibiotic, and if your snot looks anything like mine (green/ brown, ie. infected), then you're going to need something.

    ALL of that said.... God I miss Sutafed....
