My doctor told me the only safe medication to take for the flu/cold during pregnancy is regular strength tylenol. Not much relief. Keep in mind that you can always ask a pharmacist; they often know more about medication than doctors.
Go to a drugstore and ask the pharmacist on duty. They will know or can look up over the counter meds that are safe. Hope you feel better soon!
