[aliciabubba]

i think i am getting a cold! runny nose and maybe a sore throat as OH has been sick all week. Does anyone know if i can use olbas oil on a tissue to sniff? I have read mixed reviews..so im not too sure. Anyone got any good remidies to take? boo hate having a cold, especially when you cant take anything for it!!

Hi honey. I'm the same. Except mine Is more a horrid cough than anything else. And a bad cough along with hyperemysis is a bad combo! Ha ha. I don't know about olbas oil but one of the doctors I work with said today to get over a bowl of boiling water and breath in the steam. Don't think there's much we can take at all medication wise! Just rubbish old paracetamol! Loads of love. Hope you feel better soon x

I used vix vapour rub when I had a cold - put a bit in hot water and breathe it in. I didn't rub any on my chest - but just kept sniffing it throughout the day. Also paracetamol helped take the edge of a bad head off. Keep ur fluids up and hope you feel better soon x

Are you still taking pregnancy vits?? I went back on mine when I had a cold to give me a bit of a boost. Also if you have a sore throat or cough - simple linctus is safe in pregnancy. Xxx
