Looking for some words of advice here, hope someone can help as I'm feeling dreadful 
I know it's an everyday problem
I'm 12 weeks pregnant and came down with DS's cold on Friday. It's a real stinker and has gone pretty much immediately to my chest, feels like I have a brick on my chest, I've got a loose painful cough and terrible headache. I'm pretty much mainlining lemon/honey in hot water, or hot ribena, and I'm taking paracetamol regularly (to the accepted dose)which takes the edge of the headache slightly but an hour or so later I'm back to feeling like death. I'm assuming it's more severe as my immunity will be low rather than being anything more than a cold\virus.
It wouldn't matter really but I've got my nuchal scan tomorrow (private clinic) and I'm worried I'm going to have to cancel if I'm the same shivery/sweaty mess I am today! It's also hardly fair to inflict this on a roomful of pregnant women in the waiting room.
Has anyone got any genius remedies/soothing suggestions?!
TIA x
