Hi. i'm 6 months pregnant. is it safe to take strepsils. i'm coming down with flu and a sore throat.

Strepsils: Yes it is safe to take these while pregnant. However, if you think you actually have the flu, rather than just a cold, you need to see your OBGYN and get treatment. The flu can be very serious, even deadly, during pregnancy. Flu symptoms include fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, muscle aches. A cold on the other hand is usually just sore throat, cough, runny nose.

Meds and pregnancy : Never take medication without discussion with your OB as they know you best. Try and avoid medication unless necessary as side effects may not be well known for the fetus
