Chest cold/sinus infection - Help!
About two weeks ago, I got a bad sore throat and stuffy head. This developed into a very painful chest cough and stuffy head with lots of sinus pressure and pain. It is now a chest cold (without pain, thank goodness!) and continued sinus pressure and pain. My nose drips all the time. My head aches like crazy. I was running a low fever, but that has stopped now. I am totally exhausted. Poor DH has been running the house, and I've been flat on my back for the last 4 or 5 days. I went to Emerg on Friday to rule out pneumonia. (My family doctor is on vacation.) My lungs are clear, and the doctor figured its a virus, so he didn't want to prescribe anything, also because I am pregnant, of course. That's fine. I prefer to save those for when they are really needed anyways. But I am still feeling like CRAP! I need some help here ladies! I can't keep going like this - I've got four little ladies to run after. Please give me some hints or advice as to what to try to get over this. I am resting, and trying to drink more. I read a website that said "Eat a raw onion with every meal." :o I'm not that desperate yet. ;) If you have any more reasonable suggestions to offer, I would be very glad to hear them!
Thanks!
