Asked by Cristi78602

Q: Help... not sure what to do....

I am just over 5 weeks gestationally, I have had a terrible cold for a few days and feel crappy! As hard as we tried for this baby I am terrified to take anything (because I have had several miscarriages) but the doctor said I can take Tylenol and Robitussin. I have been doing really well and feel like I am getting better without meds, however my throat is killing me tonight and with each cough I want to cry! Any suggestions? It is just that raw feeling in my throat.

Thank you so much... I won't even take Tylenol.... I'm sure after the first trimester I will change but for now to scared! Haha! Glad to know I am not the only one. Maybe I will try some hot tea or something... I'm not big on hot liquids, but I can't stand this much more! Thanks again for the advice!!!!

try drinking green tea or hot fluids, I take some hot fluid, it helps for me :). I was the same during my first trimester, worried about anything that would harm the baby.
