To call your doctor if you can't get rid of a cold? It's a getting worse. I can't sleep at all: watery eyes, sore throat, terrible cough, I threw up, stuffy runny nose and I'm sore all over ): I need some help

I'd call. Sounds like the flu, and if it's been going on for a couple days I'd be all over getting me some meds.

Poor thing! Sounds like you may have the flu-- or strep, if you can't get in with the doc is there urgent cares near by you? If you are having a hard time getting.up and its been over 3 days of feeling like that, I'd go in to the doc-- if it is something viral or bacterial you may need antibiotics to clear it out.

Yes. I would call your ob and see them if you can; I had a nasty sinus infection with my first and they did give me antibiotics and a cough med that had codeine in it. When you're that sick, the benefits of medication usually outweigh the risks.

I'd go ahead and call the doctor. Sounds like it's trying to turn into something more than a simple cold.

Feel better soon!

Need to be sure to keep hydrated. I didn't and had kidney damage. Need to make sure not pneumonia. Sounds like the flu. Anytime you are sore all over, and have cold symptoms it generally means flu. So it will probably mean a week or two to get over it. I liked popsickles to keep hydrated (either sugar ones or juice ones). Good place is to call doctor and get an appointment and tell them it might be flu. Find out what to do. Good luck to you. Yes, call doctor. But this isn't just a cold, I don't think.

I just finished and looked at rest of the link and found that you are pregnant. Don't take any over-the- counter or old prescription medicine until you talk to your OB=GYN. There are many things you won't want to take when PG. Call and get appointment with that doctor rather than GP. Good luck to you and baby. Don't want it to get the flu as well.
