Halls Menthol Cough Drops?

Question

Hey! 
I woke up this morning, and my throat is absolutely killing me. Does anyone know if it is okay to use Halls menthol cough drops? I am currently a little over 25 weeks. There is no warning label on the bag, but it is also not on my "allowed" medications list. 
Thanks in advance!

Answer

Cough drops are fine during pregnancy.

Answer

I had a really bad throat the other day and had some halls because that's what was available at work.  I ended up going to the store afterwards and getting Riccola lemon mint, and I've been fine.  My throat doesn't hurt so much anymore.  Now in dealing with a clogged nose 😢

Answer

You could look for all natural cough drops just in case. Natural menthol would be Eucalyptus oil in a cough drop and works wonders.

Answer

My ob said you can use cough drops but that have to be non-menthol.

Answer

It's on my approved list. I've also heard menthol can induce labor, so I would try to get the Halls without menthol. They come in creamy flavors. They don't numb the throat pain, but they suppress coughs. Good luck!
