natural medicine?

i have a really bad cold (sore throat, cough, runny/stuffy nose/etc) and i'm not supposed to take anything other than regular tylenol and cough drops. the only thing the tylenol does is take away the pressure in my head... is there any kind of food/drink/etc that helps with the other symptoms??? i'm SO sick and it sucks b/c i'm afraid i'm getting my LO sick too.

Honey and lemon tea trust me it makes your throat feel a lot better!
Honey is a natural antihistamine and lemon has got Vitamin C. ALSO keep up with your prenatal :]
The bodies natural defenses are better then store bought stuff anyway.

Cold medicine keeps you sick longer by killing symptoms. :[

I have the same thing &my LO is sick with a stuffy nose now  

fresh garlic is good for the immune system, and I have heard that a mixture of honey and cinnamon powder taken regularly can clear up a whole bunch of ailments...
Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days.This process will supposedly cure most chronic cough, cold, and clear the sinuses.
hope this helps, and good luck! -hate being sick and worrying about giving it to the LO.
hope you feel better soon ~KP
