I've been sick back to back with cough/cold since getting pregnant. i'm 6 weeks along. better for baby to try to ride it out or take medicine?

See doctor: First make sure that your problem is merely a cold and not from something else like asthma or sinusitis. In the 1st trimester of pregnancy, it is best to avoid taking any drug whenever possible but you should not avoid treatment which is necessary. In the meanwhile, try tea with honey to see if it helps your cough.
