Sick at 35 weeks - what can I do/take?

[Amaunet]

It seems I've picked up a cold Sore throat, dry mouth, blocked nose, dry cough, headache, generally feeling like crap! Add that to being massively pregnant and I'm looking for some relief! Is there anything I can do or take to feel better? I had very little sleep last night and don't think tonight will be any better. I had kids at daycare today but I have both boys for the next two days so even resting is hard - they are 2 and 4.5 so very full on!

If nothing else- thanks for letting me whinge!!!

I always find honey and lemon drinks make me feel better..

And I use Badgers chest balm on the kids (and me) when sick and feels so nice..

But if either of those don't suit, whinge away.. Hope you feel better soon..

Thanks! How do I make a honey and lemon drink?

[Doing my best]

I just squeeze lemon and about a spoonful of honey (Manuka if you have it), and fill cup with boiling water and stir. I often wait till it is cold to drink it though.. Add sugar while it is still hit to get it to your desired taste..

chicken and vegie noodle soup with lots of ginger and garlic.

I second the honey lemon tea.

panadol for aches.

hope it passes quickly.

Bone broth, elderberry syrup, cod liver oil and as much rest as possible

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the advice! Im going to try the honey lemon drink today. I'm currently on the Panadol/butter menthol/ eukey bearub regime. (Google seemed to think all these ok) Lots of fresh fruit, juice etc. No soups - I don't cook I tried to get a pre made pouch of organic chicken soup - but it contained gluten (I'm coeliac) I feel like utter crap but did manage some sleep so that's a bonus! I have 12 hours till DH is home from work, fingers crossed the kids behave! Lots of screen time on offer today I think!
