9wks 5 days and sick

[ddsunrise]

I am almost 10wks and have come down with a cold. Sinus pressure, coughing and chest pain. For my previous pregnancies my ob said i could take plain mucinex. So i took it a couple if days this week and it has not really helped. So when looking for other options online I'm reading that you cannot take ANYTHING during the first trimester. So now I'm sick and scared since I've taken the, mucinex already and have also taken dramamine a few times due to dizziness and nausea. Should i be worried? Did i put my baby at risk? Is there really nothing i can take? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry to hear about your cold. I'm 11 weeks along and just got over a bad sinus infection. I took Tylenol for the sinus and headache pains, steam treatment for the congestion, and saline nasal spray to clean out my sinuses. Decaffeinated tea with lemon and a tablespoon of honey helped with the coughing and chest congestion. Also drink lots of water to stay hydrated. Hope you get to feeling better soon!

Is this your first?

No i have 2 children already. I had taken it because my doc had ok'd it when i was pregnant before but after reading all this stuff online I freaked out. I've decided to tuff it out for now and not take anything. Just hope it doesn't get worse!!

Don't take any medicine unless you talk to the doctor not for you're safety but the safety of the baby.whatever too take your baby takes and that's why they say don't take medicine you should be fine but don't take anything else though. Hey you and me are both going in 10 weeks is this your first baby?
