Sore Throat !!! :o(

[Paula+bump]

I have a really sore throat and top of my mouth and nose it feels like a tonsillitis but they are not swollen with a head cold on top of that !!

What is safe for me to take ?? I need something to make me feel human again, im all dizzy and it's driving me crazy

Any advice help please girlys ??

I think there's definetely some sort of bug going round (must be well travelled!) because I had this a few weeks ago. It was really sore to swallow and when I coughed it hurt. I didn't take anything, but I think the only safe thing to take is paracetemol and plenty of fluids. Have a day of rest today Paula - hope you feel better soon x

I know how it feels, I was suffering from a sore throat, cough and cold all last week. Still trying to shake off the cough at the moment.

For the sore throat, you can take some non-medicated lozenges such as glycerin pastilles, and paracetamol. Also, you can drink some hot water with honey and lemon (avoid things like Lemsip and Beechams as these are suitable during pregnancy).

If you have a cold, you can use inhalant oils like Olbas Oil, but I found it didn't really help me much - I was so bunged up I couldn't smell anything.

Hope you get well soon.

I had a horrible cold last week and had those vitamin c capsules you disolve in water every day and that along with hot water with lemon actually worked.

I also sniffed olbas oil to help me breathe too and now I love it!!

Thanks i sent hubby out to get some honey. lemons and some of them vitamin c capsules, he has just got back and the vitamin C tablets you disolve in water say pregnant women should not take them without speaking to your Dr or MW first..... Did you ask yours hun and they said it was ok? just want to be sure before i talk one!!

In the larger Boots stores, you can get a pack of 16 generic paracetamol caplets for only 16p!!! They used to be in a blue box manufactured by Galpharm, now I think they are selling it in a white and red box manufactured by ValueHealth. It contains the same active ingredientsand at the same strength as the Boots own brands and branded ones like Panadol.

I am at this moment drinking a honey and lemon drink my hubby to be just made me bless him and it's very nice and my throat feels a lot nicer already Thanks girls for suggesting that

So anyone know if i am safe to take them vitamin C tablets you disolve in water ?? What madam bully was saying about as he got me some of them too but they say to consult your Dr before taking if pregnant, so just want to check first as can't speak to my Dr
