Cold medicine?

Question

I’ve developed a nasty chesty cough that is killing my throat over night (from sick people at work 😑) and I’m 30 weeks pregnant... what cold medicine can I use ?? Help please 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Answer

My doc said Robotussin DM for a cough. I am going through the same thing, upper respiratory infection for me though. I would get checked for the flu if I were you, it's nasty this year and you are at a higher risk for complications due to being pregnant. My doc also had to prescribe me an inhaler because I was wheezing when I coughed and they wanted to be sure it didn't develop into pneumonia.

Answer

Benadryl (which I usually save for night time to help me sleep), mucinex, and alcohol free robitusson for cough. (Last two only safe past 12 weeks)

Answer

Why not gargle water with salt twice a day. It helped me and also drink raw lime juice about one lime it burns your throat but soon you will feel much better. I prefer that than over the counter medicines

Answer

Poor thing! No fun to be pregnant and sick. I know for sure the cough medicine that’s known just as Tussin (at Walgreens, it is Wal-Tussin) is safe for us. If you have any questions, you can always go straight to the pharmacist at the drug store. They’ll usually come out and hand you the right product.

Answer

I would contact your OB, they should give you a list. Honestly, whenever I get sick while pregnant I just drink ridiculous amounts of hot water with lemon, honey and ginger. Try and rest more when possible (I know this one is difficult when you have kids/a job). Diffuse eucalyptus oil and have the humidifier going 24-7. Epsom salt bath soaks are great too for body aches and drawing out toxins
