Full of cold at 7 weeks

[HighlandJigger]

Currently 7 weeks pregnant and I’ve picked up a cold and feeling awful. I’m stuffy and icky. What does everyone recommend to help? Am I allowed to use Vicks vapor rub/inhaler, throaties, etc

I think that throat sweets are ok, other than that I used a bit of Olbas oil in boiling water and plenty of warm showers to inhale the steam! You can take paracetamol if you feel bad and it’s advised if you have a fever as that can be dangerous to baby. You have my sympathy, I had a rotten cold a couple of weeks ago, my DH had it too and dosed up on lemsip and sudafed, I was very jealous!

I’ve had a horrible cold for a week (currently 5+3). I have been drinking honey lemon and ginger tea which has helped and have been taking paracetamol. I also used throat sweets. Hope you feel better soon

Same…currently sat propped up with Vicks vapour rub. Got the worst cough poss…I’m about 5ish weeks.
