I need help deciding what medicine I can take

I think I'm coming down with bronchitis and can't stop coughing. I've coughed so much that my throat is now killing me. I'm 10 weeks and 2 days pregnant and wondering if there is anything I can take or do for some relief? Please help!!!
Thanks!

First never take OTC meds without consulting your Dr. Robitussin was approved for me by my dr.

You should see your doctor. I came down with bronchitis during my second trimester and ended up taking the Z pack and it clear right up. Honey/ lemon tea  for sore throat. Vicks rub for chest congestion. I hope you feel better.

If you suspect bronchitis you should go to the doctor to determine if it's viral or bacterial as if it's the latter you'll need antibiotics.  All the meds that furby said are fine as it hot tea with honey and lemon and cough drops. Feel better!

Anything Tylenol, Robitussin DM, and benadryl are all safe. 5th pregnancy here so not giving you bad advise.

If it's bronchitis I would see a doctor. All you can do is home remedies. No over the counter without a doctors consent.
