feeling really ill 5 weeks pregnant

[caroline1010]

hi im new here and really need some advice it all started two days ago which i thought was a common cold i had a really sore throte but now my nose is really hurting me and im having pain in my left ear i had a miscarriage 3 months ago and im really worried that this will effect this pregnancy i cant get to the doctor until Monday being a weekend and i really dont want to take paracetamol am i being dramatic or should i be concerned about the effect this can have on my pregnancy any advice would really be gratefully received.

It shouldn't effect the pregnancy. Have a paracetamol, breathe in some steam and get an early night. You'll be fine!

It's probably gone to your sinus and the canal linking to your ears. Menthol crystals in boiling water will help decongest you, chemists sell them.

Only a few at a time though.

Rest sleep and drink lots. Gargle with salt and drink honeyed lemon. Eucalyptus steaming is good too.

I'm sorry for your earlier loss. I've miscarried too and it can make you hyper concerned and anxious, you being well rested is the most important thing now.
