I have a cold

Kewixom · December 2013

This is my second cold while pregnant! I don't want to take anything and was wondering if anyone has any tips on stuffy noses, not sleeping, etc. anything is appreciated!

For coughing, try taking a TBSP of honey (or mix honey with your tea). Studies have shown that it works as well as over-the-counter remedies for stopping coughing.

Also, a humidifier at night works wonders.

I'm in the same boat. The neti pot helps a bit, but it's still not getting rid of the sneezing and coughing. I have been eating citrus like mad, having OJ and drinking tons of water. I also wake up and make a hot cup of tea (or hot water with lime and honey) to drain the mucous in my throat.

I would also recommend sleeping on two pillows at night. I usually do that automatically when the weather changes, but I haven't done it yet this year. I will tonight though!

I'm struggling through a cold right now too. At first I was just drinking fluids and suffering through the symptoms, but yesterday my cough got so bad it felt like my head was going to split open. My dr said it was ok to take Robitussin DM, so I got a cough suppressant.
