ugh, i am starting to come down with a bad head cold, my nose isnt especially blocked but my head is really stuffy, and i have a really bad taste in my mouth. Grr, am stoking up the fire so i can chill on the couch... if x lets me that is!
hope everyone else gets over their bugs soon, this is awful! i feel like i am walking through water, i can barely move my legs. So tired, but hoping that will pass soon.]]> Thu, 22 Jun 2006 12:03:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2926&PID=54762&title=sick-with-the-flu#54762 <![CDATA[Sick with the FLU!! : sorry about my typing, hehe ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2926&PID=54760&title=sick-with-the-flu#54760 Author: kellverona

Hi ,

My midewife just said yes to lozenges, but IM not going to take nay. ive been doing the vitamin C, lots of water and rest and tody am coming right. Still a bit feverish and cant stop sneezing, but on the road to getting better. Might go back to bed soon though just to make the process quicker. Oh yeah ive been sucking barley sugars too. yum

Hope you feel better Kelly and Ann. I personally swear by loads of hot Ribena when I'm down with bugs. Ups my fluid intake and gives me lots of Vit C. Plus it smells nice and I get cheered up if I can smell things when I'm stuffed up.

A little Vicks Vapour-rub in a bowl of boiling water makes a good inhalation (sp?) thingy with a towel over your head... great for clearing a stuffy nose!]]> Thu, 22 Jun 2006 11:16:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2926&PID=54748&title=sick-with-the-flu#54748 <![CDATA[Sick with the FLU!! : Oh - and boiled lollies do a similar...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2926&PID=54747&title=sick-with-the-flu#54747 Author: emeldee

Oh - and boiled lollies do a similar thing as lozenges - it's the sucking and producing extra saliva that helps to lubricate your throat - so things like barley sugars etc should help a little. ]]> Thu, 22 Jun 2006 11:15:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2926&PID=54747&title=sick-with-the-flu#54747 <![CDATA[Sick with the FLU!! : Sorry chaps, echinacea is on the...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2926&PID=54743&title=sick-with-the-flu#54743 Author: emeldee

Sorry chaps, echinacea is on the no-go while pregnant list. You should try and stick to under 1000mg of vitamin C a day as well (which is a lot) though there are heaps of differing commentaries on that one.
You could go back to the old-school pre-medicated remedies of warm water, lemon juice and honey, chicken soup and lots of rest...
Hope you feel better soon. ]]> Thu, 22 Jun 2006 11:10:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2926&PID=54743&title=sick-with-the-flu#54743 <![CDATA[Sick with the FLU!! : I am hoping someone has an answer...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2926&PID=54659&title=sick-with-the-flu#54659 Author: AnnC

I am hoping someone has an answer as I have tightness in my chest and had a niggly sore throat all day. I am hoping it won't come to anything but alas being pregnant and limited on what you can take I have a feeling its going to get worse. I don't want to go to the dr unlesss absolutely have to and I don't want antibiotics if not absolutely have to. My daughter had tonsilitis not long ago so have a feeling I am catching that. I too want to take vit C with Echinacea. Did you get an anwser from your mid wife on these Kellie?]]> Wed, 21 Jun 2006 20:33:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2926&PID=54659&title=sick-with-the-flu#54659 <![CDATA[Sick with the FLU!! : I wouldnt take throat lozenges...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2926&PID=54566&title=sick-with-the-flu#54566 Author: my2angels

I wouldnt take throat lozenges unless you have spoken to your doctor or midwife, you can take lemsip but not the max one, just normal with parcetamol in it.

awww big kellie! i hate colds at the best of times, let alone when preggy.
i've had 2 so far this year and the one thing that made me feel better was lemon and honey drink, especially when made by hubby

i have just gotten over a coldy/flu yucky thing. its horrible when you get them while pregnant cause there isnt too much stuff we can take safely, but for the last week i have lived on good ol' fashioned lemon and honey drinks and panadol when it got too much.

big hugs.... its horrible just hang in there, stay warm and rested.

That's no good to hear that you haven't been well. When I had the flu a couple of months back I was taking panadol and I did take some throat lozenges (sp?) but they were ones that midwive recommended and for now I can't remember the brand. I take the normal vitamin C tablets usually. If in doubt, call the midwive.]]> Wed, 21 Jun 2006 10:20:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2926&PID=54504&title=sick-with-the-flu#54504 <![CDATA[Sick with the FLU!! : Sorry cant help you there Kellie,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2926&PID=54494&title=sick-with-the-flu#54494 Author: shelleybean

Hey Im really sick with the flu. Just got online to see if I can find some answers. My midwife told me to take down lots of fluids, panadol and Vit C. When she says Vit C do u think its ok to take chewable tablets with Echinacea and zinc also??

Or just plain Vita C tabs?

Do u know if we can have strepsils for buring throat??

Alright off to bed again. Will check later and hopefully have some answers.
