I have been fighting a cold for 9 weeks now. 5 weeks ago it turned into a sinus infection.
I have been doing everything I can think of to boost my immune system and kill the infection but I am still suffering My symptoms have subsided a bit the last week but I still cannot breath through my nose at night and I have not tasted food in 4 1/2 weeks. :serious:
I was prescribed amoxycillin but didn't take it. I am not comfortable with antibiotics normally, and even less so while pregnant.
But now I wonder if I am being silly....is an on-going infection in my body worse for the baby than antibiotics?!
This is what I have done/am doing:
*probiotics
*amla powder (a pure form of vit C)
*Neti Pot (Ive added probiotics to it & goldenseal) Most times I cant get the water to flow through since my sinuses are so blocked.
*Grapefruit Seed Extract: 15 drops 3/day
*garlic: 1 clove 3x/day with honey and cayenne pepper
I"m ready to cry!:crying:
