Re: I don't know what to do!

  • My ob/gyn said Benadryl.

  • I believe (in my "never went to med school" way) that most m/s treatments are just antihistamines with B6, so long as you aren't taking anything non-drowsy then you should be ok.

  • Benadryl is on my safe list too and it will probably help you sleep.

  • but is it okay in the first trimester?
  • ya it is safe and if it doesn't go away you need to call your dr for a zpak or something bc sinus infections are safe to leave go..take care momma!

  • My OB said Benedryl is fine in the first trimester. If you aren't sure, I'm sure your docs office won't mind taking a quick phone call question. Feel better.

  • honestly I would call your ob/gyn or if they don't have an after hours line I would check with your insurance company many of them have a 24 hour nurse hotline for just such questions...and definately see a dr asap - if it's an infection the best thing would be to get it treated!

  • if you don't want to take any meds, try some horseradish (fresh ground is best) in hot water.  Just a little usually will clear my sinuses enough for the neti pot to work again.  Good luck and I hope you feel better!
