I'm 29 weeks pregnant and I own the flu, what are some correct homemade remedies to achieve over it?

poor you...i just get over it, and it was awful. i have gotten the vaccine, but i contracted a stomach bug, and then a daylight after i was over that, i get a sinus infection, and i am 21 weeks.
if you are having cold similar to symptoms, i used saline nose spray to verbs out my sinuses and help me breathe. it wasn't homemade, but it IS nontoxic, as it is non-medicated, just take care and make sure it is plain saline spray. it works WONDERS!
vicks vapo-rub, also not homemade, but terribly soothing if you can get your partner or someone to rub it on your chest and put a bet on it also helps.
for the belly symptoms, I depended on the BRAT diet---Bananas, white rice, unsweetened applesauce, dry toast.
Bland and awful, it stops the diarrhea and soothes your belly. Drink small amounts extremely often, ginger tea help the nausea greatly and helps slow the dehydration because you must think twice of dehydration when pregnant.
you can buy teabags, or you can get ginger root and boil it within water and consent to it steep. it is great and has proven itself time and time again.
if you can, achieve gatorade and freeze it in small cubes, consequently suck on them to help the dehydration and also slow the nausea.
If you stop urinating regularly or instigate suffering from syncope (dizziness when you stand or even fainting), call your OB because you inevitability to get an IV to maintain baby undisruptive.
The good word? Your body is building antibodies that your baby will be prepared beside when he or she is born. Feel better soon and try to rest!
Homemade chicken soup, plenty fluids and rest. Get Well Soon!
