Tired of being sick

I have a sinus infection, strep throat, a cough and a runny nose. This is so not fun. DH came home from work early to help me out at least.

No point in this post, other than to complain

It's tough being miserable and pregnant.

I'm feeling much better today. Sinus pressure is much, much less, which helps tons!

I empathize with you so much. I have had the same crap since the week before Christmas. I am not an antibiotic taker so I refused. My vicks, humidifier and essestial oil only took me so far. I finally broke down last week and took a Z-pack. I feel so much better.
I hope you find your cure.

Have you tried a neti pot or nasal irrigation? DD has had a couple sinus infections and we seem to be fending off the last attempt by keeping her nose irrigated at least 1x per day. Her pediatrician actually recommended it instead of meds. I think the recommendation is 3x per day but that would be impossible with a toddler. You might find some relief and I believe there is data out there somewhere (don't quote me) that it is just as or more effective than antibiotics. Feel better soon!

Does the netti pot hurt? I don't like it when water gets up my nose while swimming--is it the same thing?
