drug
Cough drops are fine ive had to take them myself due to problems breathing and cousing me to cough alot
Is there any safe medications I can take for a cold. I have stuffy nose, itchy eyes, and slight headache. Anything to relief my symptoms?
If you were my patient, I would advise you that most antibiotics are safe to take during pregnancy. Cough syrup is usually safe too, although you want to avoid those with alcohol. You were so very early that there is a good possibility that the baby had not even implanted in the uterus yet, at the time you took the medications--if so, the baby would not have even been exposed, so no harm done.
Good luck!
For instance, I personally have never been told that anything other than Benadryl is ok during pregnancy besides REGULAR tylenol, BUT that may not be the case for your specific dr. You need to check with them first and see what they say is ok. The internet is a dangerous place to be asking, because we don't know you, your medical history, or history of your pregnancy, and we are NOT drs.
If you are pregnant and do get a cold, do not take any over-the-counter cold or cough medications without checking with your ob/gyn or practitioner. Most antihistamines, decongestants and cough medicines should not be taken during pregnancy unless instructed to do so by the practitioner. They are usually not tested in pregnant women and may have dangerous side effects for the baby. In most cases, it is fine to take Tylenol (acetaminophen) for minor aches and pains.
I had my 28 week appointment today and my doctor said at my 30 week appointment she wants me to get the whooping cough vaccine to protect baby and me. I want to keep my baby safe, but am weary of giving vacinnes that are relatively new (from what I've read they just started recommending this vaccine in pregnancy around 2011 I believe). What are your thoughts? Has anyone done this during a previous pregnancy and if so what was the outcome? Thanks for any input.
The ginger ale would be fine. I have been drinking ginger ale during my entire pregnancy because the ginger part helps calm my stomach. When it comes to prenatals, the 1st trimester is SO important so start those right away! For headaches, you can take regular tylenol. Each doctor is going to possibly have slightly different opinions based on how conservative they are. There are lists available online for safe OTC meds.
I have a sore throat, and stuffy nose with a slight cough. What over the counter medications can I take for this?
Panadol (paracetamol) and adhd can't be caused by taking medication.
I have been told that plain Sudafed (Phenylephrine) is safe to take during pregnancy, but I have been trying to research online different medications that are safe to take during pregnancy and it says that Sudafed shouldn't be taken, or should not be taken until the last 3 months of pregnancy. I have taken in 3 times so far during the last 2 weeks to try to calm my nasal congestion, but now I am afraid that I am just doing damage to the baby.
I would take showers and breathe the steam it helped me.
