Is there anything you can safely take for a cold?

This cold is killing me. I've called my doctor but no one answered and I left a message so I'm waiting for them to get back to me. But in the meantime, do you ladies know of anything I can take that won't harm the baby? Any herbal remedies? Anything? I'm desperate!

    The only thing I am aware of is Sudafed or Tylenol Cold. To be safe, I would just go with the Tylenol Cold stuff. My doc basically told me anything Tylenol is okay. :)

    Good luck!

    doc cleared me for Robitussin as well... if your stuffy, use some vicks vaporub on your chest & underneath your nose, it works WONDERS! :)

    @new_mommy905 thank you. So do I. I'm going to try robitussin, hopefully it takes some of the burn out of my throat.

    Just eat oranges, oranges, and more oranges, three at a time every four hours, and wather, and soup. Eat light, and rest. It works for me!

    @ivisweet- oranges? she has a sore throat & bad burning in her throat, wouldnt you think the acid in oranges would only make it worse? i mean, thats my opinion... but who knows it may work for her..

    Listening mouth wash kills the bacteria for the throat.
  • ivisweetivisweet
    She needs pure vitamins c

    it just seems that if she has a really bad burning in her throat from coughing you wouldnt want her to eat acidic things.. lol idk thats just my opinion on it.. i wouldnt try it but thats just me lol

    @new_mommy905 & @ivisweet Oranges and orange juice give me really bad heartburn. But to get vitamin c I have been chewing on chewable vitamin c's all day. Thank you both for your help and suggestions. Hopefully I'm feeling better soon. I can deal with a runny nose but a burning throat is my weakness.

    I was cleared for Robitussin, Tylenol Cold, Theraflu. I suck on jolly ranchers too.
