Feel like the Living Dead
Ladies, I'd really appreciate your tips please.
I'm 12 weeks pregnant with my rainbow and have had a terrible cough/cold since Tuesday which just seems to be getting worse, rather than better.
I've lost my voice and the other symptoms are particularly bad at night: I have pressure in my head, my nose completely bungs up, my throat feels like I've swallowed knives and I can't stop coughing, to the point that twice now I've simultaneously been throwing up whilst having a nose bleed.
I've been taking two paracetamol tablets before bed just to help with the throat pain, have been drinking honey & lemon/hot chocolate to sort of "coat" my throat, have a tissue next to my bed with a few drops of olbas oil to try and clear the congestion (although I'm a bit apprehensive about this as when I've Googled it, I've read it's not recommended during pregnancy) and have "steamed" over a bowl of boiling water.
I'm really getting rather desperate now to the point of being on the verge of tears tonight and am really hoping that someone knows of some miracle cure I'm unaware of.
Any advice would be much appreciated!
