[Emmamb]

I've had a really bad cold all Xmas and it's nearly gone now apart from horrible catarrh that I just can't shift,as soon as I lay down I start coughin and chokin and I can feel it at back of my throat but can't get it up.

Any1 know anythin I can take/do to help clear it??

Hey Emma, i've been suffering from this since I got pregnant. It's a nightmare. I've been going for accupuncture to cure mine but you can also drink a half cup of warm milk with a tea spoon of turmeric in it. It's hard to get down but it helps - you need to drink a few cups a day. Someone else told me lemon and ginger tea helps.

HTH,

Rose

I read in my pregnancy bible book yesterday that pregnant women often get nasal congestion due to some hormone being higher than usual so perhaps this is why you're all having nasal and catarrh problems! I've certainly been sneezing a lot more than normal for the last few weeks. Re getting rid of catarrh, I think steaming over a bowl of hot water is helpful - I think it loosens it all up. Hope you get better soon!
