cold and sore throat

hey ladies I wanted to know what are some things you used or did when you had a sore throat and cold.

A few weeks ago I posted about cold sores and any treatment for them. I ended up getting in one month three cold sores and a fever blister on my lip. This pregnancy is really running me down.

I am using the halls drops w/o zinc, what else is good.

Thanks ladies

Re: cold and sore throat

i'm not sure if it's kosher now - but ANY time i've had a sore throat - Tylenol Sore Throat was my way to fix it (if i didn't need something stronger)...

It works IMMEDIATELY....as soon as you swallow it - it feels great!

Re: cold and sore throat

thanks I will ask my doctor if its ok

Re: cold and sore throat

Aww..sorry you aren't feeling well!
I had this last week too. I wasn't sure what was safe to take, so I didn't take anything. I drank lots of OJ, water and decaf tea with honey and lemon.
Hope you feel better soon!

Re: cold and sore throat

I got sick early on in my pregnancy and Dr gave me an antibiotic and cough medicine but I was too afraid to take them so I just did the whole ' Rest, tea and soup' thing. Hope you feel better soon

Re: cold and sore throat

I had this all last weekend. Lots of oj and water, and a lot of rest. For the sore throat I gargled with warm salt water. I am just now feeling better.

Good luck!!

Re: cold and sore throat

When I was preggers I was allowed nothing.. and I mean NOTHING not even a halls drop

I used hot water with lemon and honey for my throat, then I also drank warm milk and sugar(or honey) to put me to sleep without coughing. tylenol for headaches and lots of fluid during the day.

I hope you feel better soon

Re: cold and sore throat

My sore throat started today, I'm going to have to ask my doctor tomorrow as well what to do. So far hot tea with honey has helped, but gargling with warm salt water helps. It's the worst getting sick when you are pregnant. I'm afraid to take anything else...
