The cold I have has lasted a couple of weeks but has been much less severe this last week. I was at the doctors on Tuesday and he said not to drink cold drinks as they make your throat feel worse. I took tylenol for the headache and throat lozenges for my throat. Unfortunately there is not much you can take while pregnant!

Hot decaf tea, orange and pineapple juices, cough drops. I had to tough out a terrible cold several weeks ago. It didn't respond well to natural remedies, so I just slept as much as I could. Plenty of fluids and rest and take some vitamin C. Good luck!
