Help I can't breath, bad cold
Need advise. I am 22 weeks preg and have the worst cold, my nose is so blocked up that I can't even smell Olbas oil on a piece of tissue. I am only getting about 2 hours sleep as having to sleep with my mouth open is making my sore throat and cough worse. I have a toddler to look after in the day time. Is there anything I can take?
I would usually take Vicks Sinex but someone told me I shouldn't use it while pregnant?
Can I inhale vicks vapour rub in hot water?
Thank you for you help. Debs xxxxxx

I just went on google and found that the Net Doctor said there are no reports on pregnant women having side effects from using vicks sinex as long as you don't use it too much. Well I have just had a squirt and it feels so good to be able to breath again. I have just dropped my 18 month old off at mums and hope to have a couple of hours sleep.
Also for the future I got some Glycerin, Lemon and Honey syrup from the co-op today so hopefully that will also help sore throat. Think I will get some of the pastills too.
Thanks again. xxxxxx
Also a salt water nasal spray is supposed to help a blocked nose and I find piling loads of pillows makes it easier to breathe x
