Over the counter: Most over the counter medicines and cough remedies are safe during pregnancy. If you think you have influenza, see your doctor right away. Pregnant women are more susceptible to viral illnesses and get sick quicker and for longer. Don't be afraid to use medicines to feel better in the meantime..
