Sore throat lozenges?

Ok I feel like one of those people that I always laugh at when they ask medical advice on here. But, the damn Halls website says to consult your doctor and I am not about to wake my doctor up on Mothers Day to ask if I can suck on throat lozenges.
Has anyone consulted their doctor on this before? Super duper sore throat thanks to dh. It's 3 in the morning and I can't sleep it's so bad. Gargling with salt water is my next thing but that requires me to get up.

  • Oy. Yes they are fine. The gave to say that for liability reasons. I'm so glad my doc provides a list if safe medications at the beginning of the pregnancy.

    Way too much menthold has possibly been linked to preterm labor. But I think it would tak a whole lot to be a problem. A few Halls is probably fine.

    I tried not to do any allergy Meds in my first trimester, so I asked if cough drops were ok for an itchy throat. My doctor said they were fine.

  • Awesome! Thanks ladies! I can't remember the last time my throat was this sore. I blame it on dh and his cold.
  • I've used some cough drops at work to help clear up congestion since it seems most meds for congestion are no-nos.

  • My nurse at school said they are safe to use when pregnant.
