Tylenol (acetaminophen) Cold: + home remedies such as honey ginger drinks, lots of warm liquids, steam inhalaitons, etc

Question 2

i am 7 weeks pregnant. is taking pain killers not allowed?  what type of pain medication can harm my baby?

Accepted Answer

Aspirin and Typenol: Acetaminophen is believed to be safe in pregnancy when used intermittently for short duration. It is routinely used for short-term pain relief and fever in all stages of pregnancy. During the first two trimesters of pregnancy, Aspirin may only be given during pregnancy when clearly needed for the short course & not in large doses. Do not use Aspirin during the last trimester of pregnancy.

Question 3

hi, i am 7 weeks pregnant and coming down with the flu. ive been coughing for over a week now, hoping symptoms would subside but i am still feeling unwell. would panado medisip ginger be okay to use? i have not taken any medication yet.

Accepted Answer

Safe: I would recommend that you contact your doctor by phone for an evaluation and advise. You may need to get tested and may need antibiotic if you have secondary infection.
What you mentioned is safe to take during pregnancy.
Wish you good health and a healthy baby!

Question 4

i am 7 weeks pregnant and have terrible nausea. i'm on medication for it, but it doesn't seem to be helping. is gravol safe to take or is there anything else i can do? i'm drinking lots of water. i often wake up feeling like i need to throw up?

Accepted Answer

: Pyridoxine/doxylamine, known by the brand Diclegis, is a prescription medication that combines two OTC medications - vitamin B6 and unisom. Ginger is another OTC treatment that some patients find helpful. There are a number of prescription medications commonly prescribed, including Zofran, Phenergan, and Reglan, to name a few. Just work with your doctor until you find somethings that works.

Question 5

my cousin is 7 weeks pregnant and can't stop vomiting even after medication.what are the causes for this and she's not gaining weight infact lost some?

Accepted Answer

Hyperemesis: There are some women who experience severe nausea and vomiting and in most instances there is no single cause.  There can be some issues like gall bladder disease or thyroid disorder, but the vast majority of times it is due to the pregnancy and must be treated with various medications and occasionally hospitalization.

Question 6

i want to have an abortion using the tablets and i'm 7 weeks pregnant what can i use for the pain and is it safe to use the tablets at seven weeks?

Accepted Answer

Abortion pill safe: The abortion pill is designed for pregnancies less than 8 weeks of gestation to be successful. The cramping is the normal process of evicting the pregnancy. use a prostaglandin inhibitor like Motrin or Naprosyn (naproxen) to alleviate the cramping.

Question 7

my obgyn prescribed me ondansetron for nausea and vomiting. im 7 weeks pregnant and goggle is showing all sorts of defects associated with this drug. is it really safe to take?

Accepted Answer

Tough decision: Personally, I would avoid Zofran in the first trimester.  Unfortunately,  that's usually when you need it the most!  We just don't know enough yet about possible birth defects with long term side effects to say it's  safe in early pregnancy.  If your nausea/vomiting is so severe you are dehydrated, you may not have a choice,  on could try old school anti-nausea meds that are safer. GOOD LUCK!

Question 8

i am pregnant (1st trimester), have not been properly diagnosed. but do have some med training. best i can figure i suffer from an advanced stage (4) of fibro myalgia. i do not wish to take pharmaceutical drugs. how should i be treated?

Accepted Answer

: Make certain you blood potassium is normal. Patients with this due to primary aldosteronism and low K are often miss- diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Discuss with your Dr. Can also have high blood pressure problems during preg.  Discuss.

Question 9

ill be 7 weeks pregnant next week can i go on waterslides at holidayworld? or will it hurt my baby?

Accepted Answer

Not a good idea: Sorry to say but I would recommend that you NOT go on waterslides or accelerated amusement rides at any time during your pregnancy. Hope you can enjoy the park despite this restriction. Good luck.

Question 10

i got hit with a doorknob on my right side will there be damage done to my baby im 7 weeks pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: The uterus is low in the pelvis at this stage of pregnancy. Hitting your side likely didn't cause any harm.
