I’ve got a horrific cold. It’s been bad in the evenings/nights for three weeks or so now, but for the last two days, it’s been awful. The room is spinning, I’ve got a horrible cough, I’m wheezing when I breathe half the time, I’m struggling to finish conversations. Sleeping doesn’t seem to help because I keep waking myself up coughing or with a crazily runny nose, that’s mental at night but absolutely blocked during the day. Everything hurts.
There’s not much I can take for it as I’m 21 weeks pregnant, and rest is hard to come by with a two year old. I’m doing honey and lemon; hot showers, Vicks, Olbas oil inhalers. I think that’s all I can do, no decongestants or anything. But I genuinely feel so, so awful.
