Cough cough sneeze sneeze blow
February 22nd, 2007
I suppose I shouldn’t beat myself up for being so low-function, since as far as web research can tell me, my pregnancy rhinitis is more severe than the congestion most pregnant women experience. I mean, maybe not and maybe I’m just a weakling. I do doubt this is worse than what anybody with allergies goes through on a seasonal basis. Sneeze sneeze cough cough hack gag blow! It’s not the worst cold I’ve ever experienced, thank God, but it’s definitely the sort of thing I might have taken a sickday for, in order to head off the worst cold I’ve ever experienced. Well, at least in terms of nasal suffering, it’s not the worst. I’m not sure I’ve ever sneezed this much before. And just think, six more months of it!

Possibly you’ve come down with a bug of some sort and it’s not pregnancy related. I’ve been sick with the same symptoms you describe for about a week now. And half the staff at work has it, too. Have you asked the doctor what kind of OTC meds are ok to take?
Well, I’ve had this for at least six weeks now. And I’m not running a fever. I’m cleared for Tylenol!
I’ve been using something called Tylenol Chest Congestion that is great. Check with your doctor to see if that’s something you can try.
You should check with your doctor about decongestants. My suggestion would be try to find something to treat just the congestion/rhinitis separate from the sinus pain since taking care of one may remove the need to take something for the other.
Call in (or have someone else do it) and ask the nurse what they’d recommend. They may also recommend a straight antihistamine instead of a decongestant.
Oh, I should also note that I’ve been exhausted recently which I think is due to allergies which may be contributing to stuff.
