Cold Meds Question

I have a HORRIBLE cold. Doc says cold meds are a no no. Anybody have the same problem? What are you using? I'm miserable here...........sniff sniff cough cough

when i had a cold/stuffy nose and all that crud my dr gave me a pamphlet with lists of medicines and i took sudafed and it was on the list ..so u can take that ((it shouldnt harm the baby as long as u dont take it ALOT))

Iam in the same boat right now and since we are allowed to take tylenol I figured the clod stuff was ok so thats what I have been using. I have a appt in the morning so Iam gonna ask if that ok  I hope so cause iam miserable 

i was also told to take sudafed but the regular one and that i could have up to 5 cough drops a day

my doc told me anything tylenol, including the day and night multi symptom cold. thats what i took last week, i mainly took it at night because for me, the night is always the worst, and the meds helped me sleep instead of having a snotty stuffy nose all night.

I would definitely call your OB's office and ask them what you can take. I have a list of stuff somewhere, but I can't seem to find it! Auggh!! I think there is something you can take for colds, like sudafed, but I would call them and ask.

My Ob said I could take Tylenol..Cold & Sinus..

my doctor told me that dymatap ( i think thats how u spell it lol) and benedrele were the best things to take.

My doctor told me I could take any Tylenol product, regular, cold and flu, night-time, etc.

Im sure there are plenty of OTC meds that are OK for pregos.. but I would just opt-out on the safe side and use natural remedies.. hot tea, steam baths.. CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP!  

I just got over a HORRIABLE cold last week. My OB gave me a list of things at my first appt. and I ended up taking tylonal cold daytime and night time ... It was worse at night ... it didnt do much but made it bearable .. and then I had a appt. on Wed. and they gave me a prescription anti-biotic and it worked wonders!! So I would just say to call and ask your doctor. Hope you feel beter soon.

I've had the sniffles and really bad thoart my doctor told me Claritan CL was fine to take.

oops i took nyquil i feel like a bad mommy

I was really wary of taking any kind of medication during my pregnancy. When I had a cold, I just used Vicks vapor rub, rested and drank lots of water.

Thanks everyone! I was told Tylenol products were fine. LOL the only thing is they are nowhere near as good as dayquil and nyquil. Oh well, anything is better than nothing right now. I have adr. appt Thursday I'm sure I'll be told the same thing..........Suffer. ha ha ha Only a month to go woo hoo!!!! sneeze----sniff (grin) Then my main complaint will be my tiredness.
