Pregnant and sick with Bad Cold.. any meds I can take to reduce fever and symptoms?

Q: Hi all! I have been sick for days.. I have actually burst into tears over how bad my cold is.. I called the doc office and the nurse still has not returned my calls (I called over 3 hours ago) Since I am 6 weeks pregnant but have Not been to my first doc visit yet I am not sure if or what is approved for me to take. My question is…To any pregnant or previously pregnant what/if any kind of meds were approved to take for bad cold?? I have flu, fever, chills, runny nose, sneezing.. the whole 9 yards.. Please only answer if you know for a fact the med you say was approved by your doc or on approved list for pregnant woman.Thank You in advance!!!!

A: I don’t know about tylenol cold and flu but I know acetaminophen (regular tylenol) is supposed to be OK for most pregnant women. It should help with fever, aches, etc. (If your doctor isn’t returning your call, you could check with a pharmacist.) Definitely don’t take ibuprofen (advil) and don’t take any hardcore cold medicine. You could also ask the pharmacist about cough drops or cough medicine… But I really have NO idea if these are safe.I had a really bad cold when I was 6 weeks pregnant too. I heard it’s because all your resources are going toward your baby so your defenses are down… so you could look at it as a + in the sense that it might be a sign that your body is really working for that baby… I know that doesn’t make you any less miserable.When I had a really bad cold I took a tylenol and drank LOTS of fluids (water and orange juice) and that’s what I’d recommend. If morning sickness isn’t too bad, really try to eat healthy & well to help you recover faster. I didn’t take anything besides Tylenol cuz I didn’t want to risk it. I drank some weak tea (be careful with herbs though cuz they aren’t FDA mandated) or you could just try some hot water with lemon, sugar, or honey. Put a cold cloth on your forehead, get under the covers, and rest up with a lot of Kleenex and water nearby. There’s not much more you can do, unfortunately. this too will pass…..

A: Do a nasal rinse it is completely safe and helps a lot, also use Vicks Vapor rub under your nose and on your throat and chest, my doc said it is 100% safe to use as much as you want, that is what got me through my cold.
