Safe medications.

Okay ladies I woke up yesterday with my eyes watering, sneezing, & a sinus pressure headache & today it got worse with added symptoms.... throat hurting/itching & feels like its swelling, & my ears hurting/ & itching! :/ I feel nasty as for now I've just taken a tylenol to get rid of the terrible headache. what else is safe to take?

Depends on how far along you are if you're in the first trimester it's ok to take light pain med or non drowsy allergy meds i just asked my Dr and he said it's ok. As far as being further along i don't know. Non drowsy meds are the waaay to go though

I'm allergic to Tylenol so if I got so sick I couldn't bare it I would take Benadryl to pass out

I was always sinus for 2 days then a nasty cough for 5 lol So the sinus never bothered my that much.

I've never even heard of tylenol sinus so thank you, I hate taking medicine but don't want to risk getting worse being pregnant.

My cough was worse than my sinuses, so I was taking Robitussin or Buckley's for my cough...

Thank you now that you said that I remember my piece of paper with safe medications said benedryl if your having insomnia, & since its for those symptoms I'm sure it can't hurt to try it.

I didn't take anything so I can't help you :(
My doctor told me I could take tylenol PM so I'm assuming any product similar would be safe... ?? I'm not 100% sure though so I'm going to BUMP your question :D
