What You Can Take For a Cold During Pregnancy

Colds affect as many pregnant women as non-pregnant, and are especially prevalent in the winter months. If other family members have cold-like symptoms, chances are likely that you may develop the same illness. For relief of symptoms, many over-the-counter remedies are available such as: Tylenol for fever, joint and muscle aches; Sudafed for runny nose and nasal congestion; Robitussin DM or regular cough syrup only for coughs. Always remember to keep up your fluid intake, especially if you have a fever. In the event of a high fever, or should your symptoms persist, please call us.

Remember, the best way to prevent a cold is to wash your hands frequently, keep germs out of your house, and regularly disinfect high traffic areas in your home.
