Pregnancy pains & problems

Full of the cold unsure what to take..

I'm 17 weeks pregnant and struggling with the cold just now. I'm away from home visiting my partners family and I ended up in hospital struggling to breathe. No one is able to give me a straight answer on what I am able to take. I've tried vicks on my chest, paracetamol an karvol capsules to try shift it but nothing is really helping. I feel really miserable with it as my ears keep popping too. What can I take if anything?? xXx

Drinking hot water with plenty of honey and lemon may help a bit. Its soothing and helps keep your fluids up. Other than that I think you're doing all you can. Hope you feel better soon.

like amy says, you are doing all you can. a cold is a virus so nothing will work in getting rid of it, all you can do is what you are doing to ease the symptoms. hope you feel better soon. put your head over a bowl of hot water to help clear your nose
