Okay if I haven't already let anyone know I am 7 weeks preg. so I got my BFP. Anyway my husband and I have both come under colds with sore throatsCancer - throat or larynx Throat swab culture and I'm afraid of what medicine is acceptable at such a rare stage, I know it could be related to stress because we are in the process of relocating to another city and don't have time to let our bodies rest. What is the best suggestion so that I don't lose my mind thinking that I am harming my baby.

I had a throat infection which I just thought was a sore throat. My OB gave me amoxicillin and green chloroceptic spray (he said do not use the red) and tylenol for pain.
my OB office gave me a list of medicines that are considered okai to take while pregnant...im assuming you can take any of them during any stage of pregnancy...anyway, here's what i have:
PAIN MEDICATION
tylenol and codeine (the codeine says by prescription only)
COUGHS/COLDS
Robitussin (cough), Actifed, Robitussin DM (non productive cough), cough drops, sudafed, saline nose spray and tylenol
I was taking sudafed-cough & cold & Robutussin DM for 2 weeks, until last night I couldn't sleep & have aches in myneck back & 6month pregnant belly from coughing. So my OB called my in cough medicine with codeine. I am going to try it tonight & hope to sleep well.
