A member asked:
I'm 13 weeks pregnant with a bad head cold. are there any medicines that are safe for me to take?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Decongestant: Limited use of a decongestant like Sudafed is relatively safe. Tylenol (acetaminophen) (OTC: over the counter) can also be used fo residual headaches. If symptoms are more allergy related, use of Zyrtec or Claritin is also reasonable.
