worst cough and cold ever :(

[treeze]

since christmas day i've had the worst cough/sore throat ever... lost my voice completely for 2 days but it has come back a bit today. Went to the walk-in centre and they said its an upper respiratory viral infectionbut MAN it feels horrendous.It went from being a sore throat to stuffy nose and now a chesty sore cough too. Absolutely kills every time i cough... yowch

just to top it all off i've now got cold-sores on my nose and lips and coughing up greeny yellow cack off my chest (sorry tmi!)

absolutely knacked as i can only sleep for about half hour at night before my throat is so dry i have to have a drink.

been taking paracetemol, hot honey and lemon, drinking TONS of water and orange juice, lockets and steam inhalation.

only positive is where i'm laying down all the time can feel baby moving a bit more,and also that my little girl has all her new pressies to keep her occupied whilst i am a useless sofa-bound mummy!

any advice to make this go away???!!!

Hi i know how you feel hun - I had a stinking cold for about 5 days leading up to Christmas and was doing all the things you are - that's all you can do really hun - I found hot lemon and honey helped and my mum got me some throat pastilles from the chemist as I had a really sore throat. Hope you start feeling better soon xx

Hey Girls,
try rubbing vicks vapo rub on the soles of your feet, cover with socks and go to bed for the night. Don't go mad with the vicks though as your feet will be roasting in the middle of the night. The vicks will travel up through you and you should feel much better in the morning. This is a remedy given to me by a reflexologist.
