Any mamas sick?

Question

I️ was praying to avoid the gnarly cold/flu that’s been going around but I️ think I’ve been hit!
Any advice on nursing-safe remedies to kick this things butt? 
My symptoms are sore throat, headache, and chills. I’ve been drinking lemon ginger tea and adding honey, drank an EmergenC, and orange juice. 
I️ am EBF my 8 week old. Help?!

Answer

I always have luck with hot water and apple cider vinegar. Other than that just make sure you’re keeps hydrated and try lots of healthy soups etc...and hope it passes quickly!

Answer

Just be careful with the orange juice. My baby got a horrible diaper rash from me drinking it and then I read online that this is normal with acidic foods/drinks.

Answer

There wasn’t much I could take to help with my flu but lucky with breastfeeding my little one did not catch it. I don’t like to take many meds but I caved one day with two doses of Tylenol cold and sinus which was okd by my OB.

Answer

Cup of water + one spoon of honey + squeeze a lemon and drink
