Horrible cough and cold

[Sharon19270]

Does anyone know (Alan) what is 'safe' to take when you have an awful cold. My sinuses are blocked, my nose is stuffed, I have a headache, sore throat and this afternoon I have developed an nasty (dry) cough and I am having difficulty breathing. I am feeling like crap and just wish I could take something more than just panadol, especially because of my cough as if that wasn't there I could kind of cope, but everytime I lay down I start coughing and wheezing.

DH wanted me to go up to hospital tonight but I just really didn't feel like sitting in an emergency waiting room for hours.

Oh you poor thing im sorry you feeling so crap atm. I cant be any help as im not sure. Hope it goes away soon and you start to feel better. Take care

I know you can take antihistamines.. um... polar something i think they are called. They are safe all through pregnancy. Ask your pharmacist for the proper name, cos I can't remember it!!!!

Hi Sharon,

Hope you are feeling better! Guess what? I was just about to post the same post as you.

I am due in 4 days and out of the 9 months, I get the cold now!!

Does anyone know if it actually affects labour or the baby and the breast milk if I have the cold?

Thanks!
