Success after IF

Rec your cold medicine

I have come down with an awesome summer cold. Runny nose, clogged ears, cough, the works! OB told me I could take claritin, zyrtec, mucinex, etc. but I never take any of these meds. What do you ladies recommend? I would like to get this cleared up ASAP!

Re: Rec your cold medicine

  • Saline spray and mucinex always did wonders for me. And lots of water.

    Hope you feel better soon!

  • Thanks! Do you just use the regular mucinex? I know that there are a few different kinds.

    I would try mucinex d, that has a decongestant in it similar to sudafed... I believe!  I just ask my nurse mom and take whatever she tells me to, but you could always ask the pharmacist.  Feel better!  I'm feeling the same way you do right now :(

    ETA:  Didn't notice your ticker, sorry, definitely ask the pharmacist about the mucinex d

    I'm fighting one too. I don't know what all you can take while pregnant but I took Mucine.x D to help break up the junk in my lungs and I've been taking Robituss.in cough meds (the liquid gels, not the nasty syrup) and it helps my cough. I only have productive coughs (TMI, coughing up stuff out of my lungs) and it's not nearly as often.

    Feel better soon!

    I use the target brand of the plain one. I was a fan before getting pregnant and was happy it was safe to take. I have ear issues and take it for flying...it dries everything up for me.
