Tickle in throat and cough not very productive. no other symptoms. treat for allergies with zyrtec or just guaifenesin for cough? meds approved by ob

Chest cold/allergy?: Either or both are OK, but if the cough is not productive of yellow or green mucus, you are probably fine just using Zyrtec. It is always best to minimize pharmacologic medications during pregnancy, but getting proper rest is also important, so use these with some discretion.
