medicine what can u take ?

[lilmamma]

My dd is 33 weeks and absolutely full of cold,she has a sore throat,losing her voice,going hot,headache and general aches and pains,i have given her 2 paracetamol and hot blackcurrant to drink..

Does anyone know any other non medicine drinks or anything,that made you feel a bit more comfortable,she is only 17 and this is her first baby,Thanks.

oh poor her - it's quite hard enough being 33 weeks without a nasty cold too - paracetamol are definitely the best thing. maybe also - lots of pillows to raise her head up a bit and support the bump, maybe a nice warm bath or put her head over a bowl of steam - but other than lemon and honey drinks, i don't think there is much else she can do. in fact i;m not too sure whether she should have honey? hope she feels better soon.s she's lucky to have you!

She can also use vicks, especially in a bowl of hot water and inhaled, might help If ages all clogged, also you can get saline nasal sprays that help if her sinus are blocked.
