Phlegm & runny nose

Hello,

What treatment for this? i'm preggy so i cannot take any medication. Doc says to just rest and take lots of fluid. Any suggestion? thanks.

you can try homeopathic medicine. go to health quest 25210933(citysuper cwb) & ask for Dr Mao, or go to IMI, ask for Dr. Graeme 2523-7205. both need appmt.

I got a really nasty cold too when I was pregnant. Relied on home remedies.

1- Gargling with hot salt water – 3-5x a day (great for removing the phlegm)
2- Steam inhalations – Boil some water, add a spoon of Vicks. Get a towel and cover your head, making a tent, and inhale the steam. Helps clear air passages and loosen the phlegm.
3- Drink lots of hot liquids and vitamin C.

And lots of REST! Hope you feel better soon.
