cold remedies list

What have you all done for colds? I got a medication list from my ob but the cold medication on it is very vague and one of my friends who is studying midwifery says the medication is not really good to take. I feel like crap and it's affecting my sleep.

My doctor gave me a list of remedies for illness. Mucinex was an approved medication for colds and such, just not the max strength one. It has been my savoir the last three days, I have a serious cold. Good luck they also have me non medication type remedies, might be worth checking out.

Call you care provider. They should give you a list of what they consider ok. And as for home remedies, no caffeine peppermint tea, warm baths, lots of water, soup, pedyalite, and steam treatments.

Yes, my neti pot has been really helpful, thanks! Need to get more saline packets for it. There are two class C drugs in the Tylenol medication I was going to take, so I'm definitely not taking it. Will just tough it out with natural remedies, and maybe take a plain Tylenol (which is class B) if I need to.

They are lozenge sweet tablets that help sooth your throat. Also natural remedies.

My 7th pregnancy, I haven't ever seen a list with chamomile on it, weird. I guess every doctor has his reasons, not all doctors research each and every thing. Mine on the other hand does, he's a great... but strictly about our good being.

My boyfriend would make me home made remedies since I didn't want to take any medication to harm the baby. Google cough/cold home remedies and it'll tell you different ways. I had a nasty cough where I could spit out phlem.

Unless you have a fever over 100, I would just use OTC and natural remedies. Keep an eye on it and if you develop a higher fever, the sore throat persists more than three days or you develop flu like symptoms- then call your pcp.

This isnt meant to be a list of old remedies or momma's cures since one of those can be found http://www.medhelp.org/posts/MedHelp-Social/5-minute-cures-/show/1376734 This is more to discuss why so many of these are gaining popularity in recent years. Are people tired of doctors and the problems that come about using these remedies. Why do you think they wont do clinical studies on homeopathic things? Is it because the results can vary so much?

All I did was having home remedies e.g. Hot water, honey, lemon. ginger etc. You can also google for home remedies..I did not have a choice.. If you are in Canada, you can call Motherisk (Sick Kids Hosp. - does a lot of research on what is safe for pregnant women - http://www.motherisk.org/women/index.jsp ). But I will still insist that you visit your doctor before taking anything. Hope you feel better soon.

The only thing my doctor said I could take when I had a cold was tylenol. I basically has to sweat the cold out and was miserable for almost two weeks. However vices vapor rub helps a soothes. Home remedy tea; half red onion, half an apple, lots of ginger, slice of orange and of lemon. Let that brew with lots of water.. add an little honey and pop a cough drop in the hot tea. Sounds nasty but not too bad and it helps!

You can take ANY tylenol product according to my drs...i have a list and tylenol cold and tylenol sinus are on there...hope you feel better!!

I'm 7 weeks. I have a really bad cold. What are some remedies of could use to make me feel better? I've been drinking hot tea and honey lemon cough drops.

Now I know we can't take just anything to for a cold but I was wondering if you girls had some like natural remedies to help a developing cold? Im 25weeks pregnant and I really don't want to take any meds but if really have to I will. Thanks in advance!

Kellymom has a great list of medications you can take and the effects different ones may have on the baby. I think one of the biggest concerns is that several medications can temporarily diminish your supply. ***********************/health/meds/cold-remedy.html if the link doesn't show, just google "kellymom and medications" and you'll be able to find a helpful and comprehensive list there. It provides both non-medication remedies and medications which are safe.

Can you provide me a short list of the top things (food, supplements etc.) to avoid taking while on 100mg of 5htp daily?

Also eating garlic is good, not really pleasant but it works. Google cold home remedies and they can properly tell you the steps. Be patient they work. I had a nasty cough with mucus and didn't want to take medicine to be safe.

m allergic to cold medicine, so I always use natural remedies. As soon as I feel a cold coming on, I double my Vitamin C. I also steam fresh mint leaves for congestion and make and my own vitamin water using mint leaves, fresh cut lemons and limes. I can usually kick a cold within 2-3 days using these remedies. Good luck and feel better!
