6 months pregnant and loaded with the cold! Woke up with a sore throat this morning and just got worse through the day got home from work had dinner a bath and bed, any mums that have experienced something similar got any home remodies? I know there is alot I can't take ie lemsip or cough bottles it's our one year anniversary on Sunday hoping I feel better for it

You can take paracetamol. I hate taking meds unless I have to anyway so when I had colds during my pregnancies I was on honey and lemon lol. There isn't much else you can take unfortunately!

I used Vicks on my chest before bed and hot honey and lemon throughout the day. I also made a big chicken and vegetable soup to keep the vitamins up. I got the inevitable chesty cough afterwards so had lots of spoons of honey to soothe it. Try and get lots of rest unless like me this is your second pregnancy and then I know rest is hard to come by! I hope you get well soon!

I'm the same at the moment. I've got a rotten chesty cough so I'm smearing Vics on my chest, front and back and drinking hot orange with a spoonful of honey. I'm going to steam my head today to see if that eases my symptoms too. Like others have said, we can take paracetamol but I've avoided taking it so far. Keep drinking lots to stay hydrated also.
