I don't like to use medicine, I drank emergen-c yesterday to help me get over a cold I had.
Tylenol is okay. I think Robitussin is also safe after 12 weeks of pregnancy. I would check with your Dr first though to be sure. You can try drinking some chamomile or honey and lemon tea. Drink plenty of fluids.
You can actually take Tylenol cold and Mucinex D. I been sick with a cold for couple weeks. My doc gave me a list of meds I can take. I try not to take too much though.
I'm almost 38 weeks and started getting a cold yesterday. My throat was sore so I gargled with warm water and salt every hour or so and after drank hot with honey and took a Tylenol before bed. I also slept with the cool mist humidifier and am feeling a TON better today.
