Feeling Sick

I am 13 weeks and 5 days and I woke up with a headache and sore throat most likely secondary to post nasal drip. I still feel crapy and I don't know what OTC meds to take that are safe. Any suggestions?

Robitussin PE! it has to be PE!!! my Dr. Said, i had some of the same symptoms, and i thought i had mono, or a sinus infections, but i think that it was just a cold or something. i am 36 weeks prego, and the medicine helped a little bit, it finally cleared up on its own

I had the flu really bad at 19 weeks. They told me tylenol and sudafed but only the small red tablets that you have to get behind the counter at the pharmacy.  Stay away from anything even sudafed that is for other symptoms because the add other things too it.  Stick with the red tablets and they work wonders.  Good Luck

My doctor told me that after 12 weeks it is OK to take Robitussin and Sudefed (Sp?).
Hope you feel better soon!!
