For the love!! Sick..again! Advice?

coachswife24 · April 2011

I'm a 4th grade teacher and am around germs constantly. I also have a 6 year old litlte boy...so, I'm subject to the fun germs that loom around young kiddos.

So far this pregnancy, I've been exposed to the flu (was advised to take Tamiflu), colds and some wretched coughs that come with it. This time, I swear I feel like I have bronchitis. My whole head feels like it is on fire, ears and all...I'm extremely congested, my chest hurts to cough but I KNOW that I need to cough this junk that is settling up. I am hating to cough because everytime I do, it kills my bronhical tubes. As a matter of fact, the bottom of my throat is sore to the touch (the very bottom of your neck in the front). Good thing is, with the exception of my congested nose, I'm not having trouble breathing. Let's hope it stays that way.

I'm calling my OBGyn when they open at 9...is there anthing I can do to help relieve these awful symptoms? Is there going to be anything that they are going to be able to prescribe me?

~Thanks!! I NEED to get to feeling better soon!

Honestly, with my first two pregnancies I had so many colds i actually lost count. You can take what they recommend for pregnant women and stick it out. i'm sure they can prescribe you something, but I just stuck with the usual stuff...sudafed, etc.

Luckly, this pregnancy I've only had one bad cold. Hoping it stays that way. : )

Get well soon!!
