pregnant & sick :(

Not only am I having morning sickness, but I've had a viral/cold for over a week now!   I'm only 6 weeks along, when I went in to the doctor they gave me a nasal spray for the congestion & pressure in my sinuses, & did a test for strep which was negative. I am sooo miserable. All I want to do is sleep & take some nyquil   but cant obvi... I have not taken anything to relieve my symptoms except the nasal spray. My throat hurts, I've been coughing alot...is alot of hot tea ok for pregnant women to drink?

Yep you can drink hot tea!
Gargle with some warm salt water & you can use chlorospeptic(sp?) Spray for your sore throat!

Hope you feel better soon!

Awesome! Thank you! I never get sick...the only times I have are when I'm preggo   That should help alot. Thanks

I am right there with you...I've been dealing with a sinus infection for 6 days now. I was told tylenol and benadryl were ok and I've been using a netti pot which helps alot. You can try drinking hot apple cider...since its hot it helps clear your nasal passages and its full of vitamin C!
