Due Date Club April 2004:Down with cold
2004-02-16
Name: sharmila



Hi gals, I had a bad weekend with cold and a sore throat. The doc had given some tabs that I dont want to risk taking. Right now I'm doing the salt gargle and drinking lots of warm water to keep the temperature from rising. Suggest any home remedies for my stuffy and running nose? Hope my baby does not get affected coz of me.....

Hi Sharmila:
Am giving you some home remedies..Hope you find them useful.
Cold and Cough:

1) Take 5-6 Basil leaves (Tulsi), A pinch of Pepper powder, a pinch of Cumin powder (Jeera), a pinch of Turmeric powder (Haldi), and a pinch of sugar. Put these in a pan and add 1 cup of water and boil it for 10 minutes. Drain it and then drink it.
2) Put 2 tsp of turmeric powder (Haldi) in boiling water, and then inhale the same.
3) Small onions (Raw) will help in throat pain. Smash small onions with a pinch of sugar and eat it.

Hope you and baby are ejoying together...
I am fine...going to the dr. today./..he will give my final date...am really excited 2day :)
Im on my 35 week now and dr. says baby can come anytime after 37 weeks...

Take care and get well soon...
Aditi

Hi,
I read that nose congestion is a common problem when you enter 3rd trimister. I too get affectd with cold and congestion often, but my doc assured me that cold will not harm ur baby. Try to take natural remedies like steaming, applying vicks or tiger balm, worst case go for small doses of medicine.

Yeah I was only worried if the cold would get passed on to my baby. Much better now except for the stuffy nose thats quite irritating. hope you and the baby are doing well. Take care....
