Flu, fever, chesty cough at 25 weeks- what can I take?

[Roopachoo]

Reluctantly took paracetamol to bring down my fever, but still feeling wretched. The chesty cough is really painful and a quick google for expectorant/guaifenesin brought up mixed results- so not going to try it. Manuka honey and lemon, glycerin doesn't really do anything to loosen up the chest... any suggestions much appreciated... :(

Hi Roopachoo, try Olbas pastilles (sold at Holland & Barrett), ginger and chilly peppers. Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks Lilly13- will give them a whirl
