What can you take you have a cold?

Question

Hi! I'm only five weeks pregnant and have caught a cold.  I also have been getting some brutal headaches. Is it safe to take Tylenol in the first trimester? Are there any other medications that I could take? Thanks for your help!

Answer

This is a list my dr gave me of safe medications:

Answer

Thank you so much everyone!! So nice to have this community and support!

Answer

Tylenol is ok, it's ibuprofen your not supposed to take. Honey has natural antibacterial properties, try drinking a hot cup of water with honey and lemon. At bedtime I enjoy warm milk with honey too.

Answer

Not allowed anything other than paracetomol in pregnancy. Nothing with ipbrufeon

Answer

I got a cold right after we started trying (was actually pregnant but didn't know yet). All I did was gargle with salt water (add a little honey to help the taste... It's still gross, but helps). I gargled every hour for a minute each time, and it really helped. You should be getting vitamin c if you're taking prenatals but sometimes drinking a glass of orange juice would just make me feel better. Hope you feel better soon! Oh... And lots of rest and water... Stay hydrated!! :)
