Sadly I don’t think there is much else you can take but VicksVapourRub on your chest and neck always helps me to unblock and feel better. Im pretty sure it’s safe in pregnancy (so should be safe in 2ww) but check the label first just in case. Also I know you prob are doing this but lots of fluids especially juices high in bit C should get you on the mend quicker. Hope you feel better soon xx

I took paracetamol and had hot squash which seemed to sooth my throat a little.

I hope you feel better soon x

Poor you lovely. I've had a cold/cough the past week or so and could only take paracetamol. I drank hot water for my cough (trying to avoid too much sugar/honey) and tried to keep warm, especially feet and tummy. Speak to your clinic if you feel horrendous. As a rule dont take any medicine you cant take when pregnant. Hope you feel better soon Xx

Hi Toniloux. Do persist with the paracetamol. lemon juice in hot water sweetened with honey can be soothing too. If your nose is blocked, try one of those inhalers you push up your nose, bit like a lipstick. Keep warm and rest when you can. Hope you soon feel better. Diane
