How Far Is Safe? Please Answer!
I believe I have a head cold. My husband had it a few days ago and now I have it. It's been horrible and I've been miserable! Aside from all the usual congestion, runny nose and sneezing....now I have sore muscles and a mild fever. Now the sore muscles I'm sure are from the intense sneezing and tensing up. I feel it every time and after a few hours of rest, the muscles are worse now that they've relaxed. Now on to the odd part. Well I can't sleep but when I do I wake up really hot so I took my temp, first time was 100.2 so I got out of the covers to cool down and in about 5 mins it was 99.2, so I ignore and go back to sleep. 2 hours later I wake up again hot, take my temp and it's 100.0 but sure it went back down as I started to cool off as I lay here awake. I haven't taken anything for my cold since I read first trimester is crucial to try your best not to. I am now 7 weeks and just a little unsure. How far do I let this go? Do I ignore this odd fever and just try to rest this off?
UPDATE: Hubs finally talked me into taking a Tylenol in the middle of the night, glad I did only because it broke my fever and I finally got some rest which I'm sure was more important than trying to fight it all night. Still feel like poo, but doing so much better compared to last night. Thanks everyone!
