Medicine while pregnant?
I woke up this morning with a wet cough, stuffy/runny nose.
No fever and it’s not Covid.
What can I take while pregnant? 🥲

Mucinex, robitussin ( no "D") benadryl, claritin or zyrtec might help as well. Topical vicks vapor rub is also ok to use. Avoid anything with pseudoephedrine if possible. Try the other listed products first. Drink lots of water
This is what my doctor told me hopefully it helps 😊
Safe Medications to Take During Pregnancy
• Diphenhydramine (Benadryl)*
• Dextromethorphan (Robitussin®)*
• Guaifenesin (Mucinex® [plain]) *
• Vicks Vapor Rub® mentholated cream
• Mentholated or non-mentholated cough drops
• (Sugar-free cough drops for gestational diabetes should not contain blends of herbs or aspartame)
• Pseudoephedrine ([Sudafed®] after 1st trimester)
• Acetaminophen (Tylenol®)*
• Saline nasal drops or spray
• Warm salt/water gargle
*Note: Do not take the "SA" (Sustained Action) form of these drugs or the "Multi-Symptom" form of these drugs. Do not use Nyquil® due to its high alcohol content.
You can google cleveland clinic pregnancy guide for the full list for other symptoms too. It’s a helpful resource 😊
Thank you everyone!
I’ve been struggling and I’m constantly getting bronchitis so fear that might be what it is. 😭
