I hate to rant, but I can't breathe which means I can't sleep and I have to get up and be at work all day. I've set up the humidifier and am drinking my OJ and lots of water hoping to kick this cold to the curb ASAP. Just not an enjoyable few days.
You should call your OB and double check for your specific situation, but when I had a nasty cold at 36 weeks my office told me I could take Tylenol for my sore throat pain, and regular Sudafed for congestion. Hope you're feeling better soon!
I had a cold for three weeks that would not go away. I took tylenol for throat pain and Robutussin DM for the congestion. It helped. I also took sudafed, but it kept me awake at night so I stopped that. GL, being sick and pregnant is awful!
That has been me for the last 3 weeks. In addition to a humidifier, I have been using a neti pot, nasal breathe right strips, and nasal spray. It's been awful! Hope your cold goes away soon!!
I have a cold too, it's miserable! I've just been taking tylenol here and there when I get a headache, but I'm up and down a lot at night because I'm so stuffy and then my throat gets sore from breathing through my mouth.
