personally I would just suck up the pain.  You don't want to always wonder "IF"  you contributed to the problem.



years ago my sister was trying to conceive (she was older)  she took medicine and then had a miscarriage - she spent so long blaming herself.  They probably weren't related BUT you can't stop your mind from playing those games.



I just would be safe and take nothing - why chance it?



best of luck

Hi,



You may want to take natural remedies. Honey is very good with sore throat and try having oranges.



All the best!



And oh by the way we are in the 2ww together my af is expected on 8 or 9th. I will test next week on 14th.



Baby dust to all of us!

Tylenol is safe to use. For the sore throat you could try some hot tea with lemon or honey in it. My pharmacist, a maternity nurse, and my dr all said that HALLS or VICKS cough drops were safe to use.



You could also try a warm salt gargle. Maybe even just some hard candies to suck on.



Hope you feel better soon!!

I would just take tylenol for now. That is safe.



I always get a bad cold at the beginning of every pregnancy. I take tylenol and plain benedryl which are both safe during pregnancy.
