I am feeling so ill with a cold and Ken Dodd down my throat with his tickling stick. My throat is so sore and I feel congested and like my nostrils are on fire. Is there anything I can take and would you advise to go to the doctors? My glands are up too but I have 3 days off work now and go on maternity leave this saturday.

I'd just go to chemist hun and see what they suggest
I know Lemsips and the like are a no no
so maybe just paracetamol and hot lemon drink

Hope you feel better soon hun xxx

Yep just paracetamol you can take im afraid! its awful being ill when your pregnant, hope you feel better soon x

I always drink orange juice, I find that really helps along with Panadol and rest.

Hope your feeling better soon

thanks for your natural remedies girls. I think it is clearing up now after a week. I think i would rather have morning sickness again than a cold as I hate not being able to breath. Have to go as I have the health visitor coming soon. x

ive had this lately i just slept it off as sleep has to be the safest thing and im sure we just cant get enough of it a nice bath a hot ribena and early night

I had hot lemon with honey mixed in. It was a bit grim, but it seemed to work better than all the lemsips!

uahhh, I had the flu as well and I was in bed for 5 days!

just tried to sleep and drunk loads of tea and hot water with honey

and vick-vaporoup

waaah i have a cold now too! Got some sore throat sweets from boots which are ok to take during pregnancy! they are blackcurrent glycerin pastilles and rather yummy! im having to remember not to eat them like sweets !!
Also drinking hot water with a slice of lemon (tricking my brain and telling it its lemsip!!lmao!)
