Cold remedies! Please help!

I know we'd all like to get over colds fast, but we're taking our 2yo to Disneyland Thursday and I want this cold to go away! But being pregnant I can't just pop whatever drugs usually do the trick. Help!

  • The most I can say is hydrate and hope for the best. Your doctor may be able to give you some suggestions but colds can be viral and there really isn't anything to do other than manage the symptoms while your body does its thing. Hope you feel better soon and have a great time in Disney Land!

  • How long have you had it?  If it's been more than 10 days, talk to your OB.

    Otherwise, sudafed, nose spray, and nose strips if it's congestion symptoms.

    Triplets due 6/29/16 also from an IUI!

  • Mine turned into a sinus infection, which caused extreme pain in my cheeks.  It was nasty but I'm glad I saw the doctor.  He put me on amoxicillin (sp?) and I am feeling a lot better. I suffered for 2 weeks though and once the infection took hold, I was REALLY sick.  I hope yours gets better soon!
  • Nothing to offer, other than what others said, but I hope you feel better.
  • Im fighting a cold right now, its totally miserable. My doctor told me lots of liquids, humidifer, and rest. But she first had me go to urgent care to make sure it wasnt the flu otherwise they would have put me on tamiflu. if you think it could be the flu, you may want to call your doctor and get tested.
