I have a list of safe medications you can take Sudafed 30 mg every 4-6 hrs, Benadryl, or robotussin. But mind you that is from my doctor. You should call your doc and ask what is safe for YOU personally. I have been taking Benadryl for a sore/itchy throat, cough and stuffy nose but it's not doing any good. ):

If you are pregnant and do get a cold, do not take any over-the-counter cold or cough medications without checking with your ob/gyn or practitioner. Most antihistamines, decongestants and cough medicines should not be taken during pregnancy unless instructed to do so by the practitioner. They are usually not tested in pregnant women and may have dangerous side effects for the baby. In most cases, it is fine to take Tylenol (acetaminophen) for minor aches and pains. Women should avoid Advil (ibuprofen) and aspirin when pregnant unless instructed to take one by their practitioner.
