Sick during 23weeks

Question

I’m currently 23 weeks pregnant and recently developed a cold blocked nose with mucus and quite a bit of phlegm. I’d like to check if it could affect my baby? I went to the clinic, and the doctor gave me some medication, but the conditions still are the same .#Needadvice #pregnancy

It should be quite safe as long as you do not develop a high fever. Like you, I was down with a cold (mild) at about Week 21. Doc gave me pregnancy safe meds, including some antibiotics, for a week. Most importantly, have sufficient rest. I rem the GP asked if I had irregular discharge. If you do, consult your gynae. Rest well!
