What did you do for your cold?

I know a bunch of you have had to deal, but I didn't pay much attention... I feel like poo! I'm loading on vitamin C, but I don't know what else... TIA!

I started getting sick Monday. It was at its absolute worst Wednesday. Yesterday i started to feel better. This morning I am still moderately congested.

I tried to just do lots of rest and fluids. However, I did use my Neti pot on Wednesday morning once because that day was absolute hell.

I don't know if the reason I was able to just power through was because I seem to have a fairly good immune system though. I don't usually get sick or I'll get sniffles for 3 days max. So it did take longer and was worse than usual due to pregnancy weakening my immune system I guess. But if it had lasted longer I might have caved and taken something for it.

Feel better! Rest and fluids!

Rest and fluids (lots of hot decaf teas). Neti pot and/or sinus rinse. My doc told me it was okay to take Sudafed (the real stuff behind the counter) and Mucinex if I couldn't deal with the symptoms.

I bought a humidifier and I was so dried out, there were times I just sat on top of it.. I drank a lot of decaf black tea and at times took in the humidity from that. I also took tussin because that was allowed, but I did my best to take it the least as necessary.. Good luck to you!
