Honey and lemon tea for the throat. Elderberry syrup is supposed to be a good immune booster. And it's not specifically natural per se, but Vaporub is usually pretty good for my congestion issues, especially at night.

Antibiotics wouldn't help with a cold anyways. That is actually the reason we are having so many things that could be treated with antibiotics becoming immune. It could be allergies too that resemble a cold.

I'm going to look up Elderberry syrup. I've been drinking honey lemon tea for the past couple of days. I hope this goes away soon!

Antibiotics don't help. I was told the first 3 times that I have a bacterial infection. A new doctor at my PCP's office prescribed me Avelox at the end of January; I didn't take it. I just used probiotics and extra vitamins. My PCP thinks I probably have allergies, I've had fluid in my ears since December.

Yeaaaa I would just try to get on an allergy medicine.   I hate having fluid in my ears! Drives me nuts!

I was told clove oil can help with that.

Eucalyptus oil! Put a couple drops on a cotton ball next to your bed at night or even on your pillow.

I'll try that!

I really think that is allergies. I don't feel sick, I woke up with a dry throat. I'm going to check with my doctor and see what allergy medicine is fine during pregnancy.

While it's not really a remedy, it is very beneficial for your lungs. Eating 1-2 kiwi a day has been shown in studies to improve asthma, and I've found it helps with chest colds as well. So this is a rather pleasant thing you could try if your lungs are out of whack. Also, kiwi is full of good healthy stuff and is good for a pregnant momma as well.   It has loads of vit. C which can boost your immune system too.
Here's some interesting info on it, since I couldn't locate the study I read about it.
