I am sick and I am 6 months pregnant. I have the colds and tonsilitis. I don't want to drink any tablet or medicine for that matter since I know that they will somehow harm my baby (be better paranoid that take chances). Do you guys have any suggestions? I would really appreciate it. Thanks!

I always got a horrible cold when I got pregnant. My doctor told me it was okay to take sudafed and clartin, but neither seemed to work well to even minimize the symptoms. I just started drinking lots of orange juice and water and it helped me a lot. You can ask your ob what is safe for you.

I would first call your ob they will know what you can take. They will probably tell you something in the Tylenol family. Don't forget the simple things like gets lost of rest and drink lost of orange juice. Have your husband baby you now why you can before that little is born and you two will be too busy taken care of the baby to think about anything else.
