Terrible terrible cold. :(  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I posted a few weeks ago about a horrible sinus infection I had. So I went to the doctor and got on some antibiotics (which I really didn't want to do, but was desperate.) After the course of antibiotics, I was feeling a lot better. Well, now it's back. I'm due in two weeks. Does anyone have any tips for getting through labor with a terrible cough?

I just HAVE to shake this! I have been coughing for a month!

Do you have allergies to pollen? If so, you can possibly prevent the sinus problems by finding some local raw honey and eating about 1-2 teaspoons a day. It desensitizes you to the pollen. But, you can't heat it before you consume it. I put it in smoothies. I don't really know if it would kick your already developed sinus infection though.

You could also try a sinus irrigation, which is flushing out your sinuses with a solution of salt water. There are directions for the procedure online. I've watched my mother do it and it's not too complicated.
