Head cold, hopefully not the flu- what can I take???

Question

36 weeks pregnant and can barely breath, coughing, runny/stuffy nose, no fever yet. Everything I google it says to avoid in 3rd trimester. What do I dooooo 😭

Answer

Hot shower
Vick’s vapor rub is fine under the nose! 
Warm water mixed with honey and apple cider vinegar 
All those work for me and are safe in the last few weeks :)

Answer

I had a very bad cold last week runny nose, headache, sore throat, mild fever. I went to L&D because the headache wouldn’t go away and Tylenol wasn’t helping at all, the on-call Dr there told me it was ok to drink NyQuil/DayQuil so I did for 2 days and it really helped me. I felt relief right away and now just have a mild cough.

Answer

My doctor said it’s ok to take plain Robitussin, Benadryl, Afrin nose spray, Tylenol, and plain Sudafed.

Answer

Sudafed

Answer

Mucinex works great

Answer

I had this two weeks ago! I tried to suffer thru it with liquids and steam showers. I eventually asked my midwife and she said to take plain Mucinex (without decongestant - its the expectorant one) and Flonase.
