A member asked:

9 weeks preg, i've taken twice strepsils chesty cough lozenge which i later found out is a no! will this harm my baby? pls help! tq.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: Taking this 1 or 2 times most likely won't hurt anything. Constant use could possibly be bad and that is why the warnings are on the medications. I wouldn't worry about it if i were you; just don't use it anymore.
