Am 4wks preg. having bad ear and throat ache. can i take eardrops and ibuprofen at this early stage?

Maybe: While it may be appropriate for you to take these, you should not treat yourself. Consult your doctor first. You should avoid any nonessential medications for the first 3 months.

Will leave it to : The health tap OB doctors to address use of these medications. I will provide some same options while pregnant. For sore throat – gargle with warm salt water (1/2 tsp salt in 8 oz of water). * for congestion – saline nose drops or a neti pot. *for anti-inflammatory effect ; mobilizing mucus- homemade chicken noodle soup.**for hydration- lots of water. Try clear broth. Take care.
