u can take the normal tylenol or just 1 pill of the extra strength. my dr told me, i can take up to 500mg every 4 or 6 hrs. but she also told me not to take any of the other tylenols (pm, sinus, etc.)
im sure its ok for u to take tylenol (just this once w/o drs permission) for ur fever, i mean if u go to the hospital and sit there for 4 hrs all they r gonna do is give u tylenol anyways.
then u can visit ur dr when u can and she/he can determine y u r getting a fever.

You can take Tylenol, but if the drug in the pm part is a antihistamine, it's best not to...(though it's really the last stage of preg that they don't want you to take benadryl)
I would call your Walgreen's and ask them what to do. The will prob tell you to take some Tylenol...the fever is not good for the baby (too high at this point and it makes the Dr nervous)..Call right now so you'll start to feel better.

You are allowed to take tylenol but not tylenol PM you might want to call your gyno for an early appointment,they usually get paged after leaving a message at the office and don't worry about bothering him or her if you have a fever then you have some kind of virus or infection that should be taken care of immediately,good luck!

dont take tylenol without asking the doctor and the stuff in the pm would be bad news, the fever is less dangerous than the pills.

No, you are not supposed to take any medication until after you have passed the 12 week point in your pregnancy. After that point, then you should be OK to take Tylenol.
I know you don't feel good, but wait it out. You will be happy you did when you have a happy and healthy baby. :)

You can take regular tylenol, but I would avoid the PM part. Just take regular or extra strength tylenol to help your head and maybe some herbal tea to help you relax so you can fall asleep.

no. call your doctor to see if it is ok to take Tylenol pm while you are pregnant. because curtain medicines could severely harm a baby.

NO..........................CALL DOC................... it's very bad to take anything without doc's advice, ESPECIALLY during early pregnancy. 101.3 is not bad for an adult and is not going to hurt you but it can hurt your baby. Don't take any pain/fever reducers unless doc says OK for the rest of pregnancy.

You can take just plain Tylenol.
