I had a massive cold around 7 weeks and dr told me to take Claritin. My cold turned to a cough and they told me I could take robitussin or robitussin dm. Cough turned to bronchitis and bronchospasms and was put on cough medicine with codine for bedtime and an inhaler every 4 to 6 hrs and robitussin dm every 4 hrs during the day. But you should definitely speak with your dr.
If you think it's allergies take zyrtec or robitussin both are ok for pregnant women.. of course unless OB tells you otherwise or you have any issues.
Coughing will not hurt the baby...but depending on how far along you are may make you wee a bit...The worst thing coughing could do is make your ab muscles sore.
Now, if you have a fever you should see your Dr because that could mean an infection (ie: sinus infection)
Just try to relax and increase your fluids.
I was told any cold and flu meds with acetemetaphin (tylenol) i just prefer the tylenol brand
Ask a pharmacist. I'm taking alavert d and robitussin. You can also take zyrtec if it's more allergies. Get lots of vitamin c.
I went today and was diagnosed with a sinus infection. My doctor told me to take either benedryl, zyrtec, Claritin, or robitussin. He also called me in a zpack. I'm not being miserable the rest of my pregnancy so I'm taking what is allowed.
I was taking plain mucinex for days without much help. And Tylenol. I finally called Ob and they said stay away from mucinex and take plain robitussin (which didn't make much sense to me..its the same active ingredientc(guaf).. But I followed orders) and sudafed(also plain - ewithout psuedo). Another week went by, only got worse. Finally got a z pack and cough syrup prescribed. Another week and I was better. 3 weeks sick altogether. Used humidifier at night and Vicks too. Good luck.
This morning I took two at home pregnancy tests. Both were positive. My period is four days late. I am wondering if they could be false positives. My fiance and I practice the withdraw method. He pulls out before ejaculating and makes sure to urinate before we have sex again in order to kill any remaining sperm in his urethra. I have been very sick for the past six days & have taken at different points the following medications: Sudafed, Phenylephrine, Robitussin, Acetaminophen , and Zyrtec.
My midwife told me to take robitussin but never specified which one. If you get one for for cold or cough I think you'll be fine.
You may be able to use a once a day antihistamine like claritin or zyrtec which have fewer systemic side effects. Also guifenasin (robitussin or mucinex)which loosens the secrections in throat and chest can be helpful with colds without affecting dry eyes so much. Just some general comments - discuss situation with your doctor to see of claritin and mucinex might be something that you could possibly take without affecting dry eyes too much.
I do know if ur actually getting sick sudafed and normal robitussin and mucinex are safe to take while pregnant. But its still good to talk to ur doc and get their opinion on what to take. I know the first time I got sick durring my pregnancy I went to.the clinic and they told me it was just broncittis but when I told my OB she also did a quick exam and realized I had a sinus infection as well and was feeling much better after she suggested two more things to take with my antibiotic.
I've been waking up with a runny nose and a sore throat... which means is about to get bad. Can I take anything to prevent it getting bad?
I cough n sneeze all the time now my symptoms have gotten worse cuz its been going on so long I have sore throat, and ear ache. I plug my nose and mouth and blow until I hear and feel a mild POP in my ears, that relieves the pressure in my ears, I take Claritin in the day, benadryl at night, Delsum cough medicine which really helps by the way! I use saline non medicated nose spray and gargle with warm salt water and for my sore throat I sometimes use Cepacol cough drops.
Oh i hope u feel better !!! My sinus is acting up and I have a real bad headache and I went to the pharmacy and spoke to someone and they said o can't take my zyrtec I need to talk with ny on and I'm feelin so sick I don't how I'm gonna make it through the night. I feel like like I have the flue.
t be recommended in Europe where I come tylenol is fine but still check at pharmacy.
