Any advice for what to take when sick?
I feel SOOOOO crappy... throat, congestion, headaches, little trouble breathing, nausea (due to post-nasal drip and/or pregnancy), etc. I'm sure it's just a bad cold, and I'm only planning on going to doc if it turns into sinus infection.
I'm taking:
-Tylenol every 5 hours or so.
-Tums because I think the post-nasal drip is making me feel nauseous.
- Halls Cherry Cough Drops (I'm avoiding ones with honey - is that being TOO paranoid? Honey is a no-no, right?)
- English Breakfast Tea with Agave Nectar (green tea is a no-no and honey is a no-no)
- Humidifier at night in hopes of being able to breathe/sleep.
Any more advice on what I can do/take?
Sorry I have a lot of questions today! I have issues!!!!!!

Re: Any advice for what to take when sick?
I was really sick at 16 weeks (in Nov). I took:
- regular Tylenol (CVS brand)... 2 pills every 4 hrs
- regular Tussin... every 4 hrs
- humidifier all day long
- for stomach ickies (nausea, uneasiness, etc)... ginger anything! ginger tea & ginger candies were my daily staple.
Hope that helps!

Honey is fine for pregnant women. It's a no-no for infants under the age of 1.

You are allowed to use vicks vapor rub. I had one of the worst colds ever last week (which I'm still fighting) and I used it....it definitely helped break up some of the conjestion and I slept better.

Re: Any advice for what to take when sick?
I have Bronhitis right now and besides the antibiotic I'm taking Robitussin and sudafed. I use the humidifier at night and I drink water constantly. (Just make sure you go to the bathroom constantly, even if you don't feel like you have to pee you should go...I've had a few  moments because I suddenly coughed or sneezed).

Re: Any advice for what to take when sick?
call your OB - mine was perfectly fine w/ me taking Tylenol cold which made me feel 100x better, and GET better 100x faster than if I'd taken nothing - If you have a cold and you're congested, regular tylenol and some cough drops aren't going to do anything for you -
