I was prescribed zithromax its an antibiotic with my 1st pregnancy when I was sick... About a week ago I went into labor n delivery with really bad pains n no explanation they gave me a shot of fentanyl which I thought wasnt very safe but they did... Hope this helps. I used Vicks vapor rub when I'm stuffy

I used Tylenol severe cold, saline nasal spray, Vicks vapor rub & halls. I was still miserable, but it took the edge off.

I used Tylenol sever cold. Ask a pharmacist what's safe they know more on that than docs.
