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.

The advice re pregnancy is to stick to paracetamol and take the lowest effective dose for the shortest time. Lem sip, is not allowed as it contains ephedrine. Try hot lemon with honey drinks, camomile tea with honey, throat sweets are fine, vicks rub. Its miserable I know but colds tend to be short lived. Get her some nice warm slippers, chocolate and magazines to cheer her up!

hot lemon with some honey in like weakandmilky says. Then stay in bed, something good on telly.
