A member asked:
I have a little fever & flu. what can i take to limit illness and is it dangerous for my baby as i am pregnant of 32 weeks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: There are 3 main categories of treatment for flu, the two most used are tamiflu and Flumadine (rimantadine) both of which are category c in pregnancy. We don't have good studies to prove safety in pregnancy. Talk to your ob-gyn for best way to treat it. We mostly observe and give fluids and treat symptoms.
