[Tosha5847]

I'm a little over 31 weeks with really bad cold symptoms. I've got the chills,pounding headache,barely breathe,mucus,runny nose,& a cough..is there anything other then Tylenol & benadryl that I can take being pregnant?I've tries benadryl but its not helping anything & I'm beyond ready too feel better..

I was told tylenol cold and flu is safe (by my obgyn). Also sudafed the one behind the pharmacy that you have to sign for is safe if congested. Lots of water and sleep.

I'm only just 7 weeks. I've had a stinking cold for the last 3. I take paracetamol and honey and lemon. 2 teaspoons of honey and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice or squeeze whole lemon with hot water..
Make sure your head is propped up at night and window slightly open. And use menthol liquid in boiling water in a bowl with a towel over your head.
If you've got mucus on your chest the focus should be able to prescribe you some antibiotics x

You can take ro robitussin. That helped me when I got sick. I'm pretty sure you can use dimeatap to. If you are unsure I would call your gyn and make sure. But I'm positive you can take robitussin
