medicine...

i'm new to this site and im not sure if this is the right place for this question..seems to be...Anyway i am 25weeks pregnant and i feel i am coming down with a cold(nose is starting to get stuffy,sneezing alot...). What medicine is ok to take?? i would like to take something now before it becomes unbareable lol. Thanks in advance 

tylenol or tylenol cold (not the multisymptom kind)...

plain suddifed

I believe my midwife tol me I could only take regular Robitussin. It also could just be due to the pregnancy. Call and speak to the nurse at your Dr.'s office they can tell you. I hope you feel better.

you can tynol cold. But just that.

I had a cold and took it. I didnt take it too much though. Only twice a day and i was still misable.

Garlic (either a clove of it or the capsules), Vitamin C and Echinacea tincture all work great to kick the ass of a cold!   Just dont get the echinacea with goldenseal, as goldenseal is not good while pregnant. You can also take Airborne.
I use that combination rather than taking Tylenol Coldbecause tylenol doesnt' actually help you fight the cold, it just masks the symptoms. Plus, I dont really like the idea of taking drugs while preggo, even if it is just painkillers and decongestants!   I have taken it when I'm absolutely desperate for symptom releif though. I just prefer to help my body get rid of those nasty germs as quickly as possible!

thank you all so much. I would call my doc's office now, but the symptoms just recently hit me and im at work   so by the time i get out here their closed lol....Im not one to take medicine for every little thing..and especially being pregnant i dont want to. About the garlic, haha thats the one thing that causes me to have morning sickness (anytime of the day if i get a whiff) lol but ill look into the airborne though. Thanks Reesie, i hope i do to haha.
