Sore throat...Not FUN!

This is my first time being sick while pregnant.  There are a lot of things you take for granted when your not pregnant.  I'm stuck with taking alcohol free robitussin, cough drops, and hot tea :( This isn't fun and it's only day one of feeling like this.... luckily it is only in my chest and throat and not a head cold!  I hope you all stay healthy!

    I hope you feel better soon!  Being sick is never fun, especially now.

    If you are comfortable taking tylenol, that should help too!  I hate hate sore throats and have had quite a few lately.

    I've gotten some minor relief from hot water with honey and lemon. Minor, but its something.

    Chloraseptic throat spray is also usually on the "safe" list. It numbs the pain.

    Kathy,

    Hi!  I'm sorry that you got whatever it is that is going around Jersey.  Seems like everyone I know has had it within the last two weeks.  

    I had it and I was able to take the same alcohol free Robitussin that you are taking along with what my doctor suggested: tea (fresh ginger, half a lemon and honey), cough drops (cold eaze are the best), tylenol (to keep the fever under 101*), warm salt water gargles (the zinc helps heal the sore throat) and constant use of the vaporizer/humidifier.  Towards the end, you're going to be left with lots of phlegm so the vaporizer/humidifier will help tons.  

    Feel better quick!
