How can I kick this cold?

What do you ladies take or do if you have a cold while pregnant?

Re: How can I kick this cold?

  • I'm fighting one right now and my doc said it was ok to take any of the Tylenol products as long as you took them as directed on the packaging.  It's helping a little, but it's all I can do right now.

  • I am getting one too.  I am taking tylenol, drinking a lot of water and resting as much as possible.  
  • I feel ya! I feel like my nose is super raw, and my head might fall off. Not to mention my ears are so plugged my hearing is effected. I'm so paranoid about taking anything I have been just toughing it out. A grown woman on an airplane almost in tears from the excruciating pressure pain isn't tough... So I fail. Haha.
  • I had a cold like about a month ago. I drank lots of fluids and throughout the day I was drinking hot water with drops of real lemon. Number one rule though was resting. I took a day off work to do just that.

  • I've been fighting a sinus infection for about three and a half weeks now! Sucks! Doc said that illnesses linger longer when preg. Great. one more thing to worry about! They assured me baby is fine.
  • Britt- same here. I feel horrible and the pressure it my head is bad! I have been taking Tylenol Cold Multi-Symptom, but the cold is still here. Hope everyone feels better soon!
  • We just had our first snow here and of course I feel like poo. All I have is the DayQuil stuff, I shall have to get some of the Tylenol.
  • I've had one for what feels like forEVER.  Same as other posters...lots of fluids, tylenol for aches and pains, and rest.  That's about it.  I really miss DayQuil, sigh.
  • I had a cold last week, it sounds gross, but my throat was so sore, so I put 1.5 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar into my water bottles, sore throat was gone the next day. That shit is amazing.
