What to do? - General Parenting

I am soo sick right now, really congested to the point where it is hard to breath at night. This dry painful cough, and sinus headache....

I have tried sudafed, but its not helping. Do I really just have to wait this out??!! It's already been like 3 weeks since I have been ill.

Call your Dr. Zyrtec was ok'd for me during my pregnancy

Rachael · 12-01-2005, 11:08 AM

I'll do that, I just dont want to hear "you have to let your body fight this off, other then sudafed, there is nothing we can do for you"

hopefully zyrtec will be okay, the congestion makes me miserable and its hard to sleep at night

Kaymara · 12-01-2005, 11:10 AM

Zyrtec or claritin should be ok'd by your Dr. Mine took me off allegra when I got pregnant and gave me Zyrtec. I know all Dr's are different tho. But one of those they should ok. Hope you feel better!!

Hope you feel better soon

I had something similar to that a few weeks ago, it lasted for about 2 weeks or so and I got that Airborne stuff and it really worked. Maybe you could try that if it is safe for you.

Good luck! I had to deal w/ that crap (not as bad as you though!) until about 16 weeks. I've heard of some women having it up until their pregnancy ends

Rachael I hope you were able to call your Dr. and he was able to give you something else. I hope you feel better soon.

Angie · 12-01-2005, 01:15 PM

I love your new siggy

Rachael · 12-01-2005, 01:16 PM

Thanks guys, I havent gotten a chance to call cause I have been busy at work. It's weird though cause during the day I feel okay and I am able to cough and clear my throat but at night breathing is hard and sleeping is uncomfortable.

Thanks Angie! Even though halloween is long gone, he is still my little cowboy
