jenn Aditi replied. Hi Jenn:
Sorry to know about ur ill health :-(
I also experienced the same...so i know how difficult it becomes..
Have lots of milk with a spoonful of turmeric and ghee..its very soothing for the throat..
Do gargling with salt water..and you put ginger with salt in your mouth to ease out coughing..(if you are coughing)
Read good books...
Take Care and both of you get well soon..
Aditi Tina replied. hi jenn

sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. I know it will be difficult now that both of you are sick. But pls dont worry and take plenty of rest. Take medicines prescribed. Its safe during pregnancy, even i took antibiotic when i had gum infection. Relax, listen to music, read books and eat and sleep well.

get well soon

Dear Jenn,

Sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. The weather is horrible these days. For us yesterday onwards its drizzling and its really testing my patience on staying home the whole day. But I know how bad it feel when u get a cold so I am trying my best to avoid getting one again.

You take rest as much as you can as at this time u feel very tired. Dont worry about the medicines you are taking as your doc had said its safe. Just relax and drink lots of fluid and enjoy your time by listening to music or reading books. I know its hard to relax when both of you are down together but take is easy ok.

Get well soon & let us know how you are doing once you are back to normal.

lov,

Sorry to hear that both of you are down with flu.
Plz. do take lots of rest and liquids.
The flu this year has been quite severe---takes long to recover. Especially when the immunity is low while expecting a baby.

It can be boring to stay in bed--so try reading books( related to baby, etc.) while lying down.
I do hope you start feeling better soon.
Cheers,

Sorry to hear that both of u not well at the same time.It is really a difficult situation when no body of ur near ones r around.

But don't worry & lose ur heart.Every thing will be alright I too was not well in my 4rth month had lose motions & cold problem but took medicines & home remedies & it got cure in just 3-4 days time.
its o.k. of u take tablets given by your Doc as he/she knows the best wht is good for ur situation.

As far home remedies are concerned
Take boiled water for drinking.
Don't take any cold fruits like banana, orange or watermelon or curd.Tylenol is absolutely safe medicine & even my doc had prescribed me the same when I had cold & fever.

I will surely pray for ur (both) speedy recovary. Is there anybody to help u?I mean any friends?I know how difficult it is to be as both iof u were not feeling well and that too far from our loved ones. I too experinced the same. I will pray for u ....That's the only thing i can do for u.
Take rest. Drink hot water. Don't take any things from fridge. Don't worry abt taking tabs during this time . I too hd taken antibiotics in my first trimester. It won't be harmful for the baby.
Put turmaric pdr in hot water and inhale it . Try to be happy . Take care
