Need help with sickness. NPR.
I am not a fan of the doctor. I avoid it at all costs because I do NOT like needles or that tongue depressed thing or them trying to swab your throat. But I'm afraid I need to go get checked out. I've had a head cold for over a week now. But now my throat is starting to itch/hurt like something awful! Can any of you nurses (or moms in general) tell me if there's a safe medicine I can take over the counter to feel better or if I should go see a doctor.
Symptoms: stopped up head, stopped up nose (but it still runs!!), dry nose (on the inside it burns it's so dry), itchy/hurting throat. I feel like there's a 5 pound weight sitting on my face I'm so stopped up.
Since I NEVER go to the doctor for sicknesses I have no idea if these point to a specific illness (strep, flu, or just a cold).

@captivated I was hoping to hear that!! I don't have time to be really sick. I guess being 32 weeks prego is what makes this cold seemso much worse.
