I have a terrible cold!

[Yasmin1994]

Hi all,
I'm 21 weeks pregnant and I've come down with this horrible cold!!
Is there anything I can take for it??

Hi, sorry you're feeling unwell. Especially when pregnant.. just make sure you drink plenty of fluids (lemon and honey tea, or ginger tea is great) and eat little and often if you can, trying not to have too much stodgy food. (Soups/stews will be good) Hope you feel better soon! x

Have a horrible cold here too, though not pregnant but have my little ones to look after still and what I suggested is what I've been doing. (I also had some nurofen a couple of days but don't think that's suitable for you)

Good luck

covid test aside ...
you can take paracetamol, hot drinks. rest. baby vaporub for congestion.

I hope you feel better soon!

Firstly a Covid test
Secondly, vicks is ok I think as you inhale it. Paracetamol plus honey and lemon drink.
