Answer:It is been told that hot liquids such as a cup of coffee can break up mucus without taking harmful medicines. I would say drink lots of water, stay away from dairy products as it thickens mucus. I would also recommend hot tea with honey or lemon. Hot tea is a wonder home remedy for colds. Drink it as hot as you can. And no ice cream till you feel better... lol... hope you feel better soon.
Take some garlic supplements. Start with 2000mg per day. You'll feel better in no time and it won't hurt the baby.
