i have a runny nose, and i am almost 20 weeks, any thing i can take ?

Answer 1

Best to get a list of medicines from your doctor. I'm sure sudefed and tylenol cold would be fine though.
But to be on the safe side ask your doc.

Answer 2

Oh boy, that's a long time. You can try taking Claritin D for awhile, spraying saline solution into your nose several times a day (it's harmless), or ordering Oil of Oregano over the internet. Sounds like you are allergic to something.

Answer 3

Don't take tylonal cold or clariten D like the others said. My doctor said not to. I had a cold during my recent pregnancy and was only allowed to take Robotussen Dm or Sudafed.

Answer 4

When I was pregnant my dr told me to take benadryl. You might check with your dr just to be safe though. Here is some info I did find for you and a link

The antihistamines chlorpheniramine, loratadine, doxylamine, brompheniramine, phenindamine, pheniramine, triprolidine, and diphenhydramine are considered low risk during pregnancy, but they can make you sleepy, especially doxylamine and diphenhydramine.

The expectorant guaifenesin thins mucous secretions in the respiratory passages, making it easier to cough them up. While some studies have found an increased risk of inguinal hernias in babies exposed to this drug, others have not.

The cough suppressant dextromethorphan got some bad press after one study found that it caused birth defects in chick embryos, but this study had many flaws and is generally not given much credibility. What's more, some good studies of women who took the drug during pregnancy have found that it doesn't raise the risk of birth defects in humans.

The local anesthetic benzocaine is combined with dextromethorphan in one product to treat sore throats. Benzocaine doesn't get into the bloodstream, so it doesn't pose a risk to a developing baby.

The pain reliever and fever reducer acetaminophen has been well studied. It's considered safe to take during pregnancy as long as you take no more than the dose recommended on the label.

The decongestants pseudoephedrine and ephedrine are considered safe to take during pregnancy. Studies of babies whose mothers took these drugs during pregnancy haven't found an increased risk of birth defects.

Here are some drugs to avoid:

The decongestant phenylephrine may reduce the blood flow to your uterus, cutting off nutrients and oxygen to your developing baby.

Answer 5

You should consult your ob/gyn doctor for a list of meds you can take. In the meantime, a nasal irrigation kit can help rid your sinuses of mucous and keep you healthy without drugs. www.neilmed.com or ask your pharmacist. Hope you feel better!

Answer 6

Answer 8

Call your doctor. I doubt if any of us are doctors.

P.S. You're built upside down. Your nose runs and your feet smell.

Answer 9

My dr told me to take sudafed but to call them before taking it. So best thing to do is call them.
