Feeling horrible

I guess I am getting a cold or it might be do to my allergies but for the past couple of nights I have not slept very well if at all because I have been coughing so bad and if I'm not coughing I have that tickle in my throat to make me sound like I'm weazing. Well today I just feel horrible. My back is hurting now its on the left side towards the middle of my back or up by my shoulder blade. I took a bath which helped but now a couple of hours later its hurting again. Has anyone else gone through this and what did you do about it? Is this normal?

 

Yes, I caught an awful cold about a month ago. I was sick for a week. Drinking water and cepecal cough drops
are what helped me. I tried to rest as much as possible too. The coughing and tickle in your throat is so
annoying. Keep drinking the water. And for the back- buy a big bag of rice and put it in an old sock. Then
place in microwave for 2 minutes. Basically cheap version of heating packs. Because you can keep re-heating.
Doesn't solve the problem for back pain, but soothes for a little-

Hope you feel better!

I was really sick last month for over 2 1/2 weeks. I feel your pain!!! Since I had been having pre-term labor, my OB made me go to the Dr. and get anything to get me better. She was concerned all that coughing could break my water. I'd maybe see how you feel in the next day or 2 (to see if indeed you are sick or just allergies) and possibly go to your Gen Prac & get antibiotics. I ended up having Bronchitis & got Anti., couch syrup with codeine, etc... Hope you get better quick!!

P.S. Drinking hot tea helped and some Vicks Vapor Rub too!!!

 

I hope you feel better. It is miserable to be sick and pregnant.

 

I have been sick a lot too, it is miserable. I hope you feel better soon. :love0028:

 

I have been the same way you are describing since last week. It is absolutely annoying. I have been taking sudafed and robitussin! I really don't know if it is helping. In order to sleep at night I have been wearing Breathe Right nasal strips. That helps a bunch! Hope you get to feeling better soon.

 

I broke down and went to the dr. today because this morning when I woke up it was in my chest and it hurts to breathe. I just got back and they told me I have bronchitis so I have z-pac for my antibiotic. Yeah for me. At least I know the cause now of me feeling so bad. My back is hurting worse then ever and my chest hurts.

 

I am glad you went to the dr. I had bronchitis a few years ago and I let it go too long. I coughed so much I couldn't sleep and I had to be out of work for two weeks. I now have asthma from it. It can do a lot of damage to your lungs, not to mention that all that coughing can't be too good for the pregnancy. I hope you feel better soon.
