What can I take for a cold??!

Hi ladies,

so I’m 5+5 weeks pregnant and I have been stuck down with the dreaded lergy!! Blocked, runny nose and a really sore throat with swollen tonsils.

I’ve been googling what I can take and it seems like pretty much nothing apart from hot water with lemon and honey (can’t stand lemon!!)

I can cope with the feeling crappy blocked nose etc. But my sore scratchy throat is driving me to distraction - what can I take for it, if anything??

ps I’m super nervous about taking things as I had a miscarriage with my first pregnancy last year, and I don’t want to take or do anything to jeopardise this one!

thank you!

Midwife told me honey, lemon and just paracetamol unfortunately. I've had a permanent blocked nose since my bfp because I cant take me allergy meds. Its driving me insane as I struggle with sinitus anyway. Xxx

I’ve just forced honey & lemon water down. I didn’t realise could take paracetamol, I’ll definitely be having one of those tonight!

Warm milk with honey is s brilliant soother for sore throats .

Yes! Paracetamol is absolutely safe in pregnancy xx
