I got this from my doc. Hope it helps. You know you could go to the pregnancy forum too.

Cold remedies:

always check over-the-counter cold medications for alcohol, sugar, caffeine, or aspirin. All medications should be taken as directed and for no longer than 7 days. If symptoms persist, call the office.

Honey is great to soothe a sore throat!Also, try gargling with warm salt water.Honey will help to loosen any congestion as well.Drink some peppermint tea to help relieve a stuffy nose.You might try posting in the alternative forum.Someone there may have some other advice.Good luck!Patty
