my doc is out this week, are cough drops okay? My throat is swollen and I have a cough. I want to eat some cough drops but not if they're a no no.


I'm going to urgent care this morning because my sore throat is still here. I want to rule out strep throat. Since strep is infection, should I be going to the ER or is urgent care okay while pregnant? I've NEVER been sick while pregnant and thought this was allergies messing with my sinus causing my throat to be scratchy, but now I have a ligit cough and pus pockets in my throat. Urgent care opens in an hour.

    dont want to feel responsible for any complications *****the bottom of the paper says these medicines are safe but best to wait to take them after the first 10 weeks****

    Even though halls cough drops were on the first sheet I figured it might come in handy to post the whole list I was given.

  • Why is there a * after Halls? 
  • Thank you!! My list isn't as detailed. I know this isn't my first rodeo, but I don't memorize what meds I can't have because I don't usually need or want to take them. I'm miserable though and flying today made it so much worse.

  • I have no clue I've searched through the paperwork and can't find anything to explain it, I've asked about the halls and was told they are safe so I think it may be a typo but I really don't know

  • It's probably to recognize the brand so people don't buy off brand.

  • My doctor's list just has "cough drops" 
  • I'm surprised to see sudafed on there! A pharmacist told me no and I looked it up and it's category C.
