I'm 5 weeks... I think I have strep throat AGAIN! AND a lame stuffy/runny nose... What can I do to ease the pain without harming my baby? Plz help... I'm miserable!
If you want a holistic approach (I always try to go natural first....) There is something that is safe during pregnancy....I have already taken it once, as has many of my friends when they were pregnant, and my taoist recommended it to me. Even my Yoga teacher uses it. It's called Umcka. I suggest getting the childrens version which is 99% alcohol free. It works great and is all natural. When I got sick with a cold my doc tried to tell me to take tylenol or robetussin. I refused. Then I got so bad I was just about to give in. I got to the pharamcy just to see there were no tyelenol left on the shelf. Turns out they recalled all tylenol products! That was the second recall in a matter of a few months! I prefer not to take any synthetic drugs....mama earth put medicinal plants there for a reason! Use them. Good luck. P.S. you could find Umcka in the health food store.
