Here is a link from my obgyn with recommendations of safe meds to take for when you are pregnant (obviously everyone is different and should consult a doc, but this is a good guideline)

I just discovered I have seasonal asthma (i live in Egypt and im surprised I didnt get this before now with all the pollution and dust!!) and have been given an inhaler.
You could try a spoonful on honey with a squeeze of lemon juice - the lemon will kill any bacteria in the throat that maybe causing the cough and the honey will sooth the muscles in the throat.
Drinking anise boiled in water and sugar (if u cant get it in a tea bag form like we get here) is also an excellent natural remedy for soothing a cough.
If all else fails, go to see your doctor!
Hope you feel better soon xx

Nothing. Tylonol. Being sick pregnant is a DRAG.

I really don't have a material answer for you, but it would be best for you to call yur ob's office. They should definately be able to tell you. If they dont, then the pharmicist at the store should be able to tell you. If you're battling a fever (I was at 6 weeks) you can take Tylenol which is Acetomenophen. Hope you feel better!
