Cold during the first trimester

LoveMyLove

I am ten weeks pregnant. Will be eleven weeks this coming Tuesday. I have had a cold all weekend long. Having trouble breathing. Are there any natural home remedies that can alleviate the stuffiness/congestion?

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Get a Neti Pot...or some sort of saline solution rinse for your nostrils. It really does help. Local honey and lemon in water also great for soothing the throat. Vicks and a humidifier also help.

10 weeks with a cold as well. Tea and tylenol have been my friends

Saline nasal rinse (gently, it's given me a sinus infection using with a cold before). Warm (not hot) baths, hot soup, tea, hot cider. I don't usually by the lotion kleenex (I'm cheap, I usually just use tp) but I bought it this time so I don't have to worry how often I'm blowing my nose.
