i caught a shocking cold when i was 8 weeks as well and it scared the willies out of me for fear of hurting bubs with every sneeze and nose blow! sounds silly doesn't it? hehe.. i've read in many places that it's okay to take panadol but i was too scared and just got plenty of rest. i also drank heaps and heaps of honey and lemon juice mixed with hot water.. surprisingly a cold went away a few days later. so maybe that's worth a try?

hope you're all feeling better soon
