Well the cold is starting to subside. My doctor told me I could take Robitussin DM and regualer Sudefed. It helped a little. I did drink alot of tea with honey and a cough drop. I feel much better but I was comletely miserable at first. Thanks for the advice. :-).

Same girl! I found a mixture of 1 teaspoon full lemon juice, 1 teaspoon honey mixed with cup of boiling water - 3 times a day to help releave my cold.  Good luck & hang in there! Blessings

ooh yes that does suck =/  I used to get colds all the time at the beginning of my pregnancy, my Dr. told me that it was safe to take Robitussin DM. It's a liquid =/ but it worked WONDERS.

I am so sorry, girl!  I don't know what to tell you to take, besides regular tylenol, in case you have a fever.  Also, taking a bath or shower always makes me feel a little better when I am sick.  I hope you start to feel better soon!!
