Acceptable medicine while pregnant

[Ms2Good]

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 throats 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.

My doctor allows me to take sudafed <sp?> as long as its not the maximum strength.

i think there will be some who may say tylenol is okay? however i was JUST like you are and paranoid about what to take. i too had a NASTY cold while pregnant and honestly, i just let nature take its course and "dealt with it" i was too afraid something would happen.
i even called the dr. to see if i could drink a hot herbal tea. even certain teas are a no no.

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.
