Tylenol with codeine?

[proud_mommy_2_be]

I have a terrible cold and was wondering if tylenol with codeine would help? Doc gave me some for pain few months ago. Not sure if cold meds is safe during pregnancy...

You can take Tylonel with codeine safely after the 12th week of pregnancy, but it should only be taken when prescribed so probably not for a cold.  I would ask your doctor before taking anything even though it was given to you during the pregnancy taking it for a cold or over taking it isnt a good thing. There are other medicines you can take for a cold that are safer during pregnancy.

I broke my finger around 7 weeks and was prescribed tylenol with codeine after the doctor realized I couldn't have ibuprofen. You should ask your doctor first, because I don't know if different proportions of tylenol and codeine could make a difference.

For a cold, though, my doctor told me Robitussin DM and cough drops were safe during pregnancy. Tea with honey did better for my sore throat than cough drops did.

An ER dr prescribed me codiene while pregnant. I didn't take it cause I'm allergic to it but he said it will help with the cough I had
