I had a sore throat and coughing and runny nose and my doctor prescribed me amoxicillin I didn't take all of it but I feel better already so I haven't had to take anymore... I hate taking meds while pregnant but being sick isn't okay either.

I had similar symptoms along with fever & vomiting. I went to ER. It was a viral strain of flu going around.  Just had to run through your system. But doctor did give me nausea pills & liquid hydrocone for cough. Safe for baby.

I ended up coming down with bronchitis and my doctor admitted me to the hospital right away. I stayed there for 3 days and had to take breathing treatments and had several ivs. Finally back home.

I had that recently so I went to the doctors and was told it is normal as we can catch things alot easier. I also had a bunged up nose. I was told that you just have to let it run its course. The doctor did say warm honey and lemon is good as it acts as a cough mixture and paracetamol is safe to take but only paracetamol. Hope this helps x
