Avatar f tn I need some Nyquil... not mucinex. I hate the medications pregnant girls are allowed to have.
898040 tn?1284036509 (CD5-9) and I also have this awful head/chest cold. I am taking Mucinex D for it... I thought I read somewhere that Mucinex can also help with cervical mucus? Am I losing my mind or did I read that somewhere? If it's true, maybe it's a sign that I have this horrible cold and am taking it. I am so nervous to start it tomorrow..
Avatar f tn My OB says Mucinex (the regular kind, not DM or anything) is okay, but a lot of women try to tough it out with honey and humidifiers. Sorry you're feeling so bad, being pregnant and sick is not fun.
1524212 tn?1291837200 I think most are usable as long as they do not contain aspirin. There has been discussion here that some may stimulate palpitations. I suffer from permanent AFib, but don't detect any increase in intensity form use of over-the-counter cold/allergy medication. I buy Walmar "Equate" lower cost if I can. Examples are equates for Benadryl and Sudifed (Spelling?).
Avatar f tn I agree with Lilslava. My dr. gave me those 2 medications for mine along with Robitussin CF. It took some time to work though. I was severely congested, had a loose cough, runny and stuffy nose. He also recommended Mucinex. I didn't buy it because when you take it, and if you have chest congestion, when you cough, it literally makes you cough up that mucus and Mucinex doesn't care where you are or what you're doing LOL! It depends on your symptoms. But check with your dr.
Avatar f tn I have had a cold for over a week, and my Dr just said take mucinex. I have been taking it since Thursday and it's not helping. I have such a bad sinus headache that I can feel it in my neck. It's horrible. I've had the This headache for a week now. Has anyone Dr given them the OK to take anything? I'm 16 weeks.
Avatar f tn Joy, right around 22 weeks or so I got horribly sick with a head cold that turned into some type of chest cold. I feel your pain. It must have lasted for two weeks. My ob told me about mucinex and also did you know that you can take claratin. Claratin and tylenol can be taken at the same time although the tylenol only seems to help with the fever and nothing else. I also did two sinus washes. You can buy those at any drug store for about $6 to $15 depending on the brand and number of packets.
Avatar f tn Do any mommies know of any cold medicine that i can take while being pregnant? I caught a little cold from my son. Worst feeling ever.
Avatar f tn My docs list says one benadryl a day is safe.. also you can take sudafed, zyrtec or claratin also. If you get a lot of mucus you are allowed to take the plain mucinex. I've personally used mucinex and zyrtec. Also, only regular tylenol is safe. I hope you feel better!
Avatar f tn My doctor said I could take robitusson DM for cough & cold & mucinex DM for congestion buy only if it was that bad also vicka works magic rub it on your chest behind your ears but only if you don't plan on going out once you aplly it. Even some honey & lime tea!
Avatar n tn Tylenol cold/flu. Mucinex (AMAZING), Robitussin. But ask your doctor to maybe prescribe an antibiotic to speed up the getting better process. Feel better soon.
Avatar f tn I am almost 10wks and have come down with a cold. Sinus pressure, coughing and chest pain. For my previous pregnancies my ob said i could take plain mucinex. So i took it a couple if days this week and it has not really helped. So when looking for other options online I'm reading that you cannot take ANYTHING during the first trimester. So now I'm sick and scared since I've taken the, mucinex already and have also taken dramamine a few times due to dizziness and nausea.
1375148 tn?1323166921 t regulated). My chest was so congested, it was hard to breathe without coughing before mucinex. My sinus pressure coupled with ICP was making me way more miserable before i sent Hubby to the pharmacy to buy sudafed. I also suck on throat lozenges or butterscotches thanks to the kids' Halloween excursion when my throat is raw-feeling. I hope yours is just a little cold bug and not the flu, or anything that lasts long. I wouldn't wish this misery on my worst enemy. Feel better quickly.
Avatar f tn The list my Dr gave me said Tylenol products for cold. And I got tussin for my cough. I got Tylenol cold and flu and I have the symptoms you do. Its helping some. Good luck!
Avatar f tn I caught a cold a couple weeks ago and I called my doctor about chest congestion. My doctor said mucinex was fine. I didn't want to take anything if I didn't have to but I got desperate. I was just too miserable. I don't know if it's the same kind of mucus for you but I hope it gets better!
Avatar f tn All off a sudden, out of the blue I get this terrible cold, cought chest congestion, ringing in ears. Im so tired I dont have energy to get out of bed. Went to urgent care and they gave me iv fluids, I was dehydrated at that point. Dr couldn't give me anything. However, recommended robitussin peak cold, no alcohol in it. This is for the cough and congestion. Cephacol cough drops to soothe my rawt throat and tylenol regular strength to help with the pains. Twice a day only.
1936550 tn?1348360208 My gyn on Thursday told me mucinex should be ok, but all I have is mucinex dm. Should I take it? I need relief fast!!!
Avatar f tn You can take mucinex dm or mucinex sinus max. As long as you are out of the 1st trimester. You can call your doctor just to make sure but I've been dealing with a sinus infection for a while and I don't take the mucinex often but I have taken it and benadryl at night.
Avatar m tn My dry eye is treatable with Celluvisc and Refresh Gel drops and like all with dry eye ( moderate and above ) there are good and bad days--However I have run into a difficult situation related to the common cold. What meds can I take that will not effect my dry eye ???? I recently had a cold and took cold meds and my eyes burnt so bad ( even with drops ) that it was near unbearable . The Doc and Pharmacy both said it was the antihistomine and I quit the meds which relieved the dry eye symptoms.
1451438 tn?1285236545 Um.... It probably is the cold or it could be a chest infection/virus.
Avatar f tn My problem is I felt fine other than a productive cough prior to taking the mucinex so is this feeling from the mucinex or am i developing pneumonia? Has anyone who has taken mucinex while pregnant felt this way?? Sorry for the overly long question, thanks in advance for any advice. Oh and of course OB an Primary doc's office are both closed so i can't call until tomorrow. And Baby is still pretty active so I don't think it affected her.
Avatar m tn try Sudafed, its always hel;ped me when I had sinus infections, u can take mucinex for the mucus, Tyenol cold and sinus congestion, and Claritin allergy if its allergy related, get losts of rest, Vitamin A,C& D is a good supplement for sinuses. hope these help u and hope u feel better soon! good luck hun!!!!
1221453 tn?1281092342 Anyone know of a medicine i can take? I have a terrible cold. Cough, runny nose, headache the works. Just wondering if anyone knew of something safe to take???
Avatar m tn right now i have a lot of phlem, i have body ( on the back also) and head aches, nasal congestion and I snezze a lot, ocassionaly my chest hurts on the sides or in the middle, but before the cold it was there and diminishing ) before the cold I felt a way better, only head aches, phlem, and occasionally a little bit of chest pain, I`ve never coughed nor had fever since I initially had pneumonia. the only medicine that Im taking is mucinex (guaifenesin) to thin out the phlem.
