You & baby are fine: I know it is so frustrating trying to know what is safe during pregnancy. I think the best general advice I can give you is this: (1) be aware of the main things that are definitely off limits, (2) try to avoid taking things that aren't necessary, and (3) relax as much as it is possible; you won't stumble blindly into harming your baby, IMO. And the 3 Strepsils? You and baby are fine. No harm IMO.
