Avatar f tn If you're one for taking medicines, Mucinex (not D, not DM, but plain) worked wonders for me in my 2nd trimester.
Avatar f tn When I was on my 3 months, I felt terribly sick. I had coughs and colds, so I took Robitussin. Just one. Could this possibly affect my baby?
9633429 tn?1404953195 Ithink its better to just get well naturally with no medicines since some medicines can be bad for your baby. Your cold well go away either way! Your body will fight it!
Avatar n tn Any of the various forms of albuterol actually do work better than standard cough medicines for non-cough variant asthma. Monitor your symptoms carefully and if things get out of hand, be sure to see your doctor quickly. Feel better and God bless.
Avatar f tn I agree with Mumita...I've had two HORRID colds throughout my pregnancy and a migraine. I lived through the colds which lasted at least a week...and took nothing. Take lots of fluids, chicken noodle soup, decaf tea, and rest. For my migraine, I broke down and took one tylenol even though it did nothing! It sounds mean, but I say suck it up and keep your baby as 'pure' as possible.
Avatar f tn When you get to the pharmacy, ask the pharmacist what is considered safe just to be extra careful, but I believe those are the ones my doctor said were safe. I had awful colds both pregnancies and managed to hack it without any meds but I took a lot of steam showers (sitting in the bathroom with the shower on to create steam), used a lot of saline drops, and spent most of my time with a warm wash cloth over my sinuses (HIGHLY recommend this..it feels AMAZING).
Avatar f tn same here, have a bad cold, but i'm actually better today.. i know we are not allowed, but i did take one lemsip and a few strepsils...
Avatar f tn I used robitussin the one just for colds. Anything multi symptom isn't safe. I also used the throat spray.
Avatar n tn Many pregnant women aren’t sure what types of medicines are safe to take. Below are some recommended medicines for common discomforts, colds, and the flu. For headaches, muscle aches, or mild pain, you may take 2 regular strength acetaminophen(ah-SEE-tah-min-oh-fen) tablets (325mg), like Tylenol, every 6 hours as needed. For head congestion or stuffy nose, try saline nasal spray. You may take 2 squirts in each nostril every 6 hours.
Avatar n tn Are there any medicines for a cold? My doctor want prescribe me anything, and I'm getting worse.
Avatar f tn My Doctor told me not to take either, only allowed Tylenol medicines and mucinex.
Avatar n tn Actually, You know what causes colds? Its real simple actually and I cannot believe there isnt anything about it. Why don't people get colds in the summer? Now it can sometimes happen, but summer no colds. Winter colds. Can you relate as to why? It's real simple. You see in the summer there are plants everywhere thriving and growing, consuming all of the carbon dioxide in the air.
Avatar f tn For a cold the list says sudafed or robitussin pe for colds with conjestion.
Avatar f tn My ob gave my a paper with a list of whats safe during pregnancy.
Avatar f tn You can usually take Tylenol based products, but I would definitely check with your doctor first (they usually provide a list of approved medicines). You want to be careful during your first trimester with taking medicines though, so if possible, see if you can do without. If not, have your doctor make a recommendation.
7110266 tn?1392136011 Hey ladies, has any one of you sliced a raw onion and put it in a sock and then put the sock on while sick? I have heard many people say that it absorbs the toxins in your body and within 2 days you are better. Some of you that have colds and such should try it so you don't have to worry about taking medicines. Hopes it helps.
1936698 tn?1333915193 I think I am starting to get a cold. I woke up just fine this morning, but after a few hours my nose started to run and my throat is sore. Is there anything I can take to help with it. I lost my paper that says what is advised for colds. I know I can't take nasal spray and most cold medicines. I am having trouble finding information online. Any help would be greatly appreciated. When I get sick, I usually stay sick, and I don't want to have to miss a lot of school because of it.
Avatar f tn I sneeze almost 40 times in a couple of hours. My nose gets so irritated and runs whole day. My eyes itch alot. I was in east coast for three months and nothing I had no problems but as soon as I got back in mid west I started having this problem. Its now almost been three years and I am not sure if this is some kind of allergy. I am at the point where I can't even go to school or go out with my friends. I tried taking allergy medicines but they didn't help me much. Please help me.
Avatar f tn The same remedy goes for coughs and colds: mix ginger, real lemon juice and honey in warm/hot water and drink throughout the day along with water at room temperature. Not sure about medicines for pregnant women, so ask your gp about this if you want to go the medicine route. I had a cold in early pregnancy and by having chicken broth soups, rest and the honey/lemon/giner mixture, I was better within days. Hope you feel better soon.
10841231 tn?1427427244 I was wondering what's safe to take for colds? I've been running a low grade temp today. And tylenol isn't quite doing the trick. My throat is dry, sore, scratchy, and I have a dry cough. And my head is achy. I don't want to go to the doctor just yet. But I need some relief.
1348086 tn?1370783185 what is going to help your anxiety is going to the doctor and having them rule out anything scary. Colds suck!!! and can last for weeks.. sorry you're sick and I hope you get better soon!
Avatar f tn What are you taking for colds? I've got my first one and haven't taken anything yet.....

5752933 tn?1383533437 Is there anything we can take for a cold? I'm so stuffed up and can't breath its making me lightheaded.
