Full of cold!

[wondering7777]

I woke up on Friday morning with a scratchy throat. Three days later and it’s developed into a full on cold - sneezing, coughing, blocked ears, general exhaustion, the works! I’ve been lounging on the sofa eating chocolates all evening despite having loads of Christmas house stuff to do. How long do colds typically last and is there anything I can safely take while 20 weeks pregnant? I can’t wait for this to go away!

I don’t think you can take any of the usual cold tablets, just paracetamol.

As for cough sweets, it’s only jakemans I believe.

Rubbish I know!

Agree with pp jakemans sweets. And paracetamol... If you have a headache apparently paracetamol and full fat coke work really well..
Hot water with some lemon
Hot water in a bowl head over the bowl towel over your head try and see if the steam helps.
And basically relaxing as much as possible. I totally know how you feel I think I've had a cold etc for 9 months everytime. It eases off one of my Kids passes it back to me🙈

Thanks. Feeling rotten and very sorry for myself!
