Anyone else sick?

Question

I woke up this morning with a sore throat, and I can tell its developing into a cold (soreness has spread, stuffy nose, just feel yucky). Am I restricted as to what OTC meds I can take? And does this affect the baby?

Answer

Yes, Im about a week in and I am just now getting over it. First it was dry hoarse throat one day then the next was phlegm, and lastly the runny nose. My son is sick and now my boyfriend today.Yuck! I'd recommend something but nothing helped haha :\

Answer

I've had four colds since week six and I'm 14 wks now. So miserable. I miss being able to take zicam. I took Tylenol, sudafed PE, robitussin DM as needed. Lots of mint tea, water, fresh OJ, chicken soup and rest.

Answer

Ugh, me! I'm so crabby, my throat hurts and I'm so stuffed up.

Answer

I had a really bad time with the cold trying to stay away from meds otc.. But I needed to get better so my doctor recommended the following : Robitussin DM (make sure is DM), if it's sinus too, use Benadryl, Zyrtec, Sudafed regular and Claritin. Tylenol cold helps too. Good luck.

Answer

You can have Tylenol! And that's about it! Oh you can have throat losenges too! But try to drink lots of OJ! I haven't gotten sick luckily! But you never know! Always stay hydrated!

Answer

I just got over being sick. Thursday last week is when I felt a cold coming on. When I woke up Friday I was worse with a stuffy nose, my head had soo much pressure and I got really bad headaches. Tylenol is safe to take. Don't take more then the recommended dose. Get a lot of rest if you can. I just rested, hydrated like crazy with water, ate nothing but soup and used some Vicks vapor rub to try and breath or would just sit under the shower and enjoy the steam. Friday and Saturday was terrible for me. Sunday I was alright and I feel much better today. Hope you feel better soon 😘

Answer

I was sick about two and a half weeks ago. Sore throat so bad I could barely breathe, runny nose. It turned into an upper respiratory infection and the inside of my ear was red. I was given antibiotics and told the infection was much worse than the antibiotics. 
But when I had my first doctors  appointment I was given a folder and some papers with a little information on what to expect each trimester and what medicines I could take.
I know robitussin is one, Tylenol cold and flu, mucinex, triaminic, to name a few

Answer

Me too! It's been a few days and luckily not worse, just there.  GL!
