Tylenol helps a ton when if you have a headache or anything. It's safe to take. But usually I try to stick to teas unless I'm really sick.

Throat coat. It's an herbal tea in the U.S. that really helps with scratchy, sore, mucusy throats.

And when I'm not pregnant and have a cold, I constantly suck on zinc lozenges. But I'm not sure if they're safe during pregnancy.
