    Is it the flu or a really bad Cold
    Ok so I'm not feeling very well it started last Wendesday when I cought a small cold from my husband (who was over it in three days) it started with just bad congestion and sinus headaches.
    Now I'm just miserable, I have bad congestion, headaches, sore through, and a horrable cough.
    I am having stuff come out with it now and it's really green (sorry for too much but I need to know) it's coming out my throat and nose when I cough or blow my nose
    Before when it first started it was all clear.
    Is this something to be worried about because I am 34 weeks pregnant?
    I asked my midwife and she said I could take pretty much anything so I have been taking vicks formula but it's not working.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks

    Go to the doctor. It sounds like you are having an infection (upper respiratory) and only a doctor can prescribe something that won't hurt the baby. Hope you feel better soon.

    Crystal hun, if the drainage is green, this signifies infection. You need to see your doctor to get on an antibiotic.

    At your late date of pregnancy it is common to get more stuffy, headachy, and all around congested due to increasing amounts of estrogen. HOWEVER, since your mucous is green, that is most definitely signs of either a sinus or upper respiratory infection.

Cold Air Registers Blowing Cold Air [ 3 Answers ]

Our cold air registers are blowing cold air worse than if the windows were open. The hot air registers blow cold air but not as forceful (maybe because they are 1/3 the size of the returns) This only happens when the furnace is off and we are heating with the wood stoves. We have metal ducting...
