Hi,
Am a secondary teacher, just had a nice healthy half term and woke up today with a rotten cold - coughing, sneezing, sore and tickly throat. It feels like it's more in my chest than anywhere else but looking at the things I've got in my medicine cabinet, I can't find anything that's safe to take apart from paracetamol.

I've been drinking lots of fluids and having lots of honey with what I eat/drink but would really like to shift it before it turns into a chest infection - baby is already starting to notice me coughing and I don't want it to carry on for any longer than necessary. I'm 23w by the way.

Can anyone help please?

Bless you!
You can get generic "lemsip" which is just vit c and paracetamol - soothing without the decongestants which are verboten.
Called Hot cold relief or something - ask the pharmacist.
Get well soon
