Treatment for a cold at 32 weeks of pregnancy?

Hi, I've just hit 32 weeks and have been lucky enough to have a trouble free pregnancy to date. Unfortunately I now have a nasty cold, and was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to treat it considering the usual cold'n'flu medications are off limits. This is my first pregnancy so I'm hoping for some words of wisdom from the wise experienced Mums out there... Thanks in advance

Thank you 1pj, any suggestion is worth a try (even the wacky onion trick!). Vicks is certainly helping, as is cups of warm water with honey and lemon. Thanks again, Hepf2007

hehe I dont know about words of wisdom but i too had a cold,I actually just asked the chemist what i was allowed to take and to be honest I cant remember all but basically I remember the vicks was ok and instead of the head coldy tablets they gave me a nasal spray to clear my nose,Sorry i cant remember much else,this will sound wacko but people i know have tried it swear by cutting an onion and putting under your feet in a pair of socks over night aparently helps get rid of the cold,worth a try?
