medicine in 4-5 week

[emiloo]

I have had the flu this past week and have been taking nyquil, ibuprofen, and alkazelter, I just found out that I am 5 weeks pregnant and I'm am hoping that this medicine I have been taking is NOT going to affect my baby?! If anyone knows please help me out I am going to the doctor Monday but I do not want to continue to take medicine if its going to harm my baby.
Thank you!

well all I know is the nyquil has alcohol in it so you need to avoid that asap

You should stop taking the nyquil and ibuprofen.  Switch to tylonal. I was told by my doc that cough meds are no no's because they can cause high blood pressure. Which nyquil is known for.

Also Benadryl is safe to take.

I have never in my life used NyQuil or Alkazelter, so I can't answer for those, but you are not supposed to take ibuprofen while pregnant. Since you were/are so early it should be just fine. With my daughter I took it a few times before I found out and she is a happy healthy almost 4 year old. Just make sure not to take anymore. You can however use Tylenol.
