A member asked:
Im four weeks pregnant and have a persistent cough with mucus in my throat what medicines are ok to take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Be cautious: At this time in your pregnancy, the fetus is growing dramatically and forming important organs. For instance, the heart will begin beating soon. Because this time is critical, it is best to avoid medications in the first trimester. If you might have a serious infection and need antibiotics, please check with your doctor. Also, try natural options such as salt-water gargles and saline nasal rinse.
