I have had a bad sinus cold for a week now. Im getting married this saturday and its an outdoor wedding. Ive been drinking hot water n lemon with honey but im not sure if i can take anything else. Any suggestions?

  • I recommend contacting your OB to see which medications they recommend for you to take for this during pregnancy.

  • You're supposed to talk to your doctor before taking any cold medicine. Mine wouldn't let me...
  • Tylenol and Mucinex were ok'd by my OB - hello from sept 15 group

    Call your OB, mine okay'd Tylenol abd Sudafed if necessary.
  • Call a homeopath. Or a naturopath. Other than some herbs most of their available treatments are safe and quickly effective. I use homeopathics for my daughter as well since she was a small infant and it is nice to know they do not cause adverse side effects.
  • Get a neti pot from your drug store... It's just saltwater that clears out the sinuses. It makes a huge difference when you're stuffed up! I was told I could take Benadryl, that'll help dry everything up, but call your OB just to make sure it's ok for you to do. Congrats on the wedding!!!
  • Sorry sinus colds are the worst! you can try putting hot water in a mug and a towel over your head, Maybe put some peppermint and eucalyptus oil in it to open the nasal passages. 
  • The neti pot is a disgusting God send. Use it several times a day. I marvel at its disgustingness and usefulness.

    I know!!! There's something oddly satisfying about seeing a giant snot ball drop out of your nose, LOL!!!
