Sick of being poorly

[Newbie13]

Hey all, I am 8 weeks pregnant and have been down with what I think is flu for nearly 3 days!!
Have taken paracetamol and tried to stay hydrated but the congestion in my face is killing me! Can any one recommend any natural decongestants that are safe for preggas ladies?? I am desperado!! Please help!!

Thanks x

A bowl of hot water and a few drops of Olbas Oil, put a towel over your head to trap the steam. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks for this. Will have to get oil tomorrow as chemist now closed!!! Was hoping there was some miracle cure in my food cupboard? Haha! I feel like actual death!

You could try Honey, Lemon and Ginger drink (If you have them in the cupboard)

I am thankfully feeling better today. Went to the GP in the end and was prescribed Amoxycillin which is a massive relief!! Am on the hot water, honey and lemon which is really good!! Still have a healthy appetite too! Thanks to those who responded!
