I just had a cold recently (around 3 weeks ago) and I was taking panadol and a few cough lollies - this was recommended by my midwive.]]> Tue, 09 May 2006 13:08:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1506&PID=45139&title=my-first-cold#45139 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1506&PID=45095&title=my-first-cold#45095 Author: emeldee

I ended up with a chest infection last time around and got put on ventolin by the doctor - apparently they used to use it in the way old days to stop premature labour and contractions.
Dropping a couple of drops of eucalyptus oil or vicks into a tub of hot water and putting your head near it (inhalations) helped clear the nose a little. ]]> Tue, 09 May 2006 10:37:01 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1506&PID=45095&title=my-first-cold#45095 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1506&PID=44864&title=my-first-cold#44864 Author: Two Blondinis

I've only just got over that nasty cold that was going around (turned into a chest infection) and I didn't take anything at all. Our whole household had it (hubby, mum and dad, sis and fiance) and they must have all bought shares in Lemsip they were taking so much LOL. All had it for as long as I did - two weeks and same symptoms. Just goes to show how good that stuff is afterall ]]> Mon, 08 May 2006 17:15:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1506&PID=44864&title=my-first-cold#44864 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1506&PID=44859&title=my-first-cold#44859 Author: Andie

I dunno if Lemsip is OK (I guess it is!) but don't take paracetamol with it, as it's already got paracetamol in it. Also, the vitamin C in it is worth jack-all, as heat kills vit C really quickly. That fresh-squeezed OJ from the shop chiller ROCKS for it though! It just doesn't soothe like a nice steaming hot drink. ]]> Mon, 08 May 2006 17:06:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1506&PID=44859&title=my-first-cold#44859 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1506&PID=44850&title=my-first-cold#44850 Author: AlyAyde

Nope, Paracetamol is the medicine, Panadol is the brand name. Kind of like lemonade is the drink and Sprite is the brand name. There are lots of generic brands of paracetamol too - Pams, Signature Range etc.]]> Thu, 09 Feb 2006 20:47:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1506&PID=27598&title=my-first-cold#27598 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1506&PID=27596&title=my-first-cold#27596 Author: jack_&_charli

Isn't there a difference between Panadol and Paracetamol? ]]> Thu, 09 Feb 2006 19:40:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1506&PID=27586&title=my-first-cold#27586 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1506&PID=27584&title=my-first-cold#27584 Author: Maya

Yep, Panadol is safe during pregnancy as long as you stick to the correct dosage. Antihistamines and Ibuprofen are big no-no's tho, so if it gets worse and you need more than Panadol you should probably see your doc for some suggestions (the consult will be free as it is indirectly preg related).]]> Thu, 09 Feb 2006 19:17:40 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1506&PID=27584&title=my-first-cold#27584 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1506&PID=27583&title=my-first-cold#27583 Author: Kazzle

I had an awful cold when I was pregnant with my daughter. I can't remember if I took lemsip or not but my husband made me lots of fresh lemon and honey drinks which were great for clearing the sinuses and helping get to sleep. Maybe try them if lemsip is a no-no?]]> Thu, 09 Feb 2006 10:14:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1506&PID=27506&title=my-first-cold#27506 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1506&PID=27504&title=my-first-cold#27504 Author: daikini

If my memory is working properly (not a given these days!)
