cold medications

Don't wanna drive you all crazy today with my 100 questions, but has anyone taken any cold medication that was safe during their preg? I have a serious head cold right now for about 2days so far and my nose is ridicously stuffy, is there anything I could take that you know of?

do not take any antihistimines like benedryl, claritin, allegra, etc... as they can be dangerous to the baby. i found sudafed to be helpful with congestion- both my dr and hubby who is pharmacist said it's ok to take. others have told me they take robatussin. tylenol is safe of achiness. you can use a saline nasal spray as well. this can help flush out your sinuses and prevent your cold from becoming a sinus infection. of course, decaf tea, rest, and chicken soup always seem to help too.

feel better!!!

You can try going to safefetus.com and typing in a type of medication to see if it's safe or not.
