Hi, I used Vicks on my skin when I had a horrible cold in the first trimester - if you are really concerned ask your pharmacist to look it up on eMims and print the info out for you.

The other thing I found useful was Fess spray, which is a nasal spray made of saline (salty water). It helps a lot if you're really stuffy or having sinus pain. I also used panadol as I was afraid of getting a really high temp and 'cooking' the baby!
