Coughing, sneezing, headache... what can I take?

[jenga079]

Please allow me a short moan... I feel terrible! I started feeling rough yesterday with a splitting headache; poor DP was up all night looking after me as I was shaking and shivering so much (good practice for when baby arrives!); I've been through a whole box of tissues today; I can't stop coughing and sneezing and am generally feeling rubbish.

I can't take anything other than paracetamol can I? Can I? Any suggestions for what else might work?

oh bless you. I am also nurturing a cold but not as stinky as yours sounds.

I am proposing garlic soup for lunch and a day in bed.

You can take Veno's Expectorant :) Hope vyou're feeling better soon!

Ooh, garlic soup. I'll give that a go. Curry's supposed to be good too isn't it?

Have probably missed the chemist now, but I'll get the expectorant tomorrow. Thanks ladies!

Hi Jenga

You have my sympathies on this one. Check with your GP but a zinc supplement should be fine in pregnancy and it works wonders for me in shortening the length of my colds.
