Getting sick..

I think I'm getting a cold or something. Any good ideas or approved methods that are okay for us? I'm almost 15weeks. All I've used is Vicks rub since my doctor said it was okay.

  • Drink warm cinnamon stick tea, add sugar to your liking, it's always helped me!

  • What are your symptoms?  If it's mostly nasal congestion then warm showers, saline spray, hot tea (even just hot water), may help.  Itchy watery eyes could be helped by splashing water on your face every once in a while throughout the day or when you're especially itchy. (It may be caused by airborne allergens and can't hurt either way.)

  • I got the OK with my OB to add extra vitamin C & D at the onset of a cold.
  • If you have a Keurig, I recommend Vitamin Burst tea. They are soothing and packed with Vitamin C. Lots if fluids in general should help. Good luck!
  • I have an upper respitory infection...I have been ok'd to take z pack and mucinex (and now Robutussin for a cough). It's miserable but its important to knock it out asap instead of just "waiting".
