Lots of rest and lots of fluid is really all you can do. Don't worry about food intake, just the fluids. They are most important. If you are unable to keep down sips of fluid, or show signs of dehydration, you may need to go to the hospital for some IV rehydration. I had this around 18 weeks, and it was terrible. After a liter of IV fluid, and IV Gravol (Which is very safe to take during pregnancy) I felt 100% better. Hope you feel better soon!

Take Tylenol now. I know it's hard to take any medication thinking that it will be bad for the baby. My wife had a flu and tried to avoid medicine, the flu became worse and she also developed harsh coughing. So I told her to take the medication or call her doctor and ask for someting before it affects the health of our baby. She called the doctor and the doctor prescribed tylenol to her, took it and she felt better after a couple of days.
Also, try to avoid honey as my wife develops Gestational Diabetes taking too much lemon juice and honey to cure her flu.
Remember: Your health is important for the health of your baby.
Good Luck!

Tylenol flu will help. I know u dont want to take meds, but sometimes its better than allowing it to continue and get even worse.
Any Tylenol product is safe during pregnancy unless otherwise advised by your doctor. Of course call and make sure its ok, but u really need to get better as quick as possible.
Good luck hun and congrats!

Hot tea with honey and lemon? Give yourself a massage with some scented massage oil with menthol and eucalyptus.
Sorry! I hope you feel better soon! Stay hydrated.

Steam can help with congrestion. If you dont have a vaporizer, close yourself up in the bathroom and steam it up.
