Pregnant - 15 weeks and all going fine. But Ive been struck down for 8 days with a chesty cough, blocked/runny nose, sore throat, headache, no smell/taste, which just doesnt want to budge. I have found myself taking some paracetamols in desperation as ds1 (2) has also come down with similar and has been out of sorts. (he's ok with calpol and amoxicylin). However, now Ive got a cold sore too. Of course pharmacist wont give me anything and says go to doctor. Perhaps I should but Im loathe to go to doc for a cold sore. I dont think he's going to be able to prescribe anything if the pharmacist couldnt think of anything. Ive tried looking on the internet and some site mentioned cream with lemon balm in it but I dont have any names. Licqorice tea is meant to be good - but then I noticed it has a pregnancy warning on it (y0u know what I mean!).
Help!!!! Im feeling very sorry for myself !
