can i take cough droos?

Help mommas! Ftm, and 29w 4d.  I'm miserable, woke up to a terrible sore throat and cold. I can feel my esophagus's inflammation. I'm in agony.

Is it safe to take cough drops and if so, what kind?

I would fight a cold the natual way with fruits, soups, veggies, juices and lots of water..and ofcourse staying warm and resting... the drops just provide temporary relief but aren't helping you get healthy again.

I'm just getting over a nasty cold myself and was told any kind cough drop other than herbal, Tylenol Cold (plain - in other words no multi-symptom, extended release, etc.) and saline nasal drops are all safe to use.

Hope you get to feeling better!!
