Me too, i have sore throat, cough and flu, already lost my voice. I went clinic but doctor can only give me vitaminc, lozenges and panadol, he said he doesnt want to give me other medicine which is not safe to pregnant woman. But the medicine did not work at all and i have side effect to the panadol( heart rate jump fast and cannot sleep).
I keep gargling with salt water, drink honey lemon water and eat 川貝燉雪梨,but my cough become more serious and 鼻涕及痰are green in colour. Do I went back to see my gynae, he gave me anti-biotics(5 days) and medicine for cough. Now i feel better and can finally sleep at night.
I have google a lot and find that some anti-biotics are safe for pregnant woman, and my gynae is the one who will 接生for me so i feel 安心。he show me the ultrasound and said baby is alright...
Although we tried not to take any medicine when we are pregnant but if we get sick, we have to visit doctor and believe in them coz we have no choice. If we insist not to take medicine finally baby might be affected.
