Cold, cold, go away!!!

Thread Starter 
DD and I both caught a monster cold bug this week. It's not the flu, there's no fever or aches but the violent dry coughing, clogged sinuses and general fatigue has me absolutely floored. All I can do during the day is keep her fed and change her diaper. The TV is on way more than I like but I can barely talk let alone sing or play. DD is pretty energetic despite the cold and I feel soooo bad that I can't keep up. Thank goodness she's a good napper or I'd be sunk. DH has been amazing, taking her on fully from 4 pm when he gets home to 8 (bedtime). I don't remember EVER feeling this bad with a cold - a flu? Certainly. But a cold?! Ugh. I feel so weak and useless. The weather is nuts; -7C one day, 10C the next, then -5C after a couple of days. I WANT SPRING ALREADY!! I'm so sick and tired of winter!

Ok so thank you ladies for letting me vent a bit and complain. I know this is nothing compared to those of you who are still battling the nausea/vomiting. Good luck to all of us and I hope we all get through the remainder of this cold/flu season without further problems.

You try any Umcka cold and flu? I have used that with my nasty cold that I had a month or so ago and worked well and baby is fine in there. It has some homeopathic meds in it. Has to be the cold and flu one for it to have those. It really helped. Sorry you got a cold. It's NO fun.

Once again I am going to recommend Elderberry syrup plus a neti pot. I hope you feel better soon!
