Flu

Me and my daughter have cold/flu symptoms for like past 2 weeks, I called gp/111 today and they said to go pharmacy for her and for me cuz im pregnant ill get call from gp tonorrow lol 😆 useless... they not concerned we have been ill for past 2 weeks... if it's cold/flu they usually don't care as it's supposed to go away on it's own... we just started 3rd week of this... no signs of it going away but hey ho! Their advice drink honey and lemon lol and take paracetamol in case of headache or other pain 😆 been doing so for past 2 weeks with no changes 😅 🤣 😂 now also both of us developed a bit of a cough over past few days so getting more symptoms rather than less.

Stay hydrated! If you aren’t able to keep down anything my midwife said a full fat can of coke always does - she was right (caffeine though so be careful how much) Chill out, wrap up warm in bed or on sofa and pig out! I would ring drs as they might be able to help with something but most likely will say rest, paracetamol xx

@Kamila mines the exact same xx I had my booking app on Wednesday they did bloods had a call from the drs as my white blood cells were high and they wanted to make sure I was ok I said I’m dying from a sore throat ! Yh that’s what I thought it’s just soo debilitating atm as I’m exhausted as it is x I went into work today and sent me within 5 mins just hate being ill and only being able to take paracetamol is soo crap lol xx

Yea I drink juice from a lemon a day for vit c boost, eat couple spoons on honey to soothe sore throat 🍯 paracetamol for headaches, pregnancy vitamins, and try to rest as much as possible as much as my toddler allows lol 😆 I need to get some more pine tree syrup. It's a natural Polish remedy that's pregnancy safe, I had some home made one that my dad brought from Poland but run out but I think you can get it online or in Polish shop I might take a stroll and see as its really good for cold/flu symptoms, helps with sore throat and cough etc
