    Cold / Sore throat - need remedies

    Hello ladies,
    Im currently 26wks and suffering miserably of a cold & sore throat, i have so far been gargling salt water, drinking lemsips, and making my own fresh lemon, honey tea... oh and laying in bed!

    My throat feels like its about to close over and someone is taking to it with razor blade.. is there anything else i can take?

    I have a box of Ease-a-cold cold & flu tabs in the cupboard, but im too scared to take them.

    would love to hear some suggestions
    thanks

    I've got a cold as well and the chemist gave me ease a cold then took it back saying that liquorice can be linked to high blood pressure. She suggested using a vaporiser, if you don't have one you will definitely use it with a bub. My problem is my little girl has the same cold and she's got it in her room of a night.
