You cannot take anything that contains menthol. You will need to check the ingredients. I recommend Hall Fruit Breezers. They contain pectin. They are safe.

you may want to wait to ask your doc, but my pregnancy doctor told me that "generally" any meds, including cough syrup, WITH OUT alcohol in it should be okay.
Also, try calling the hospitals in your surrounding counties. Just call the main number and ask them if they have a "call a nurse" program that is available 24/7. Some hospitals have it, some dont. Heck my hospital even has one that directs me to the nurses that delivers babies. Anyways, if you can find one, ask them. It's really handy for when the docs office is closed.

you should be okay however not to many becasue these do go through and .... they speed up your heart. I know it kinda sounds funny but I am not aloud to have cough drops. I am not really limited except for cough medicine and there is nothing I can have!

Check with your doctor before you take anything, just to be on the safe side.
