That was me, minus the antibiotics.  I was sick for 2 weeks, felt better for 2, then bam, got sick again.  Thankfully, it seems like its starting to pass.  The only thing that really helped me were hot steamy showers, lots of nose blowing, and Ricola's.  I also drank water and lemonade like it was going out of style.  Good luck to you, I was scare the poor little guy inside me was going to have shaken baby syndrome!

I don't post much, but I've had my share of sickness for going on 6 weeks.  I started out with bronchitis with a wicked cough and it turned into pneumonia around 30 weeks. The baby is a trooper and has had no adverse reactions and I'm on my 3rd round of antibiotics. I found that home remedies did not work for me even though I tried everything (steamy showers, vaporizers, fluids, etc) 

I was frightened taking so many antibiotics, but I am monitored on a non stress test twice a week. 

You know your body best.  Go back to the doctor if you feel nothing is helping.

I also am sick. After almost passing out in Target yesterday, I went to Urgent Care. I'm not on antibiotics and Sudafed. I've also been using DD's baby Vicks and her humidifier. Last night I made a hot cup of peppermint tea with honey. The vapors from the tea made my nose feel better and the hot tea and honey helped calm down my throat and cough for awhile. Steamy showers are also a great temporary fix. But like the pps said, if you feel like you are getting worse, call or go see your doctor.
