Medicine for flu

Hi all mummies! I’m having super bad running/block nose. Do your know what kind of medicine can we consume during pregnancy?

Hi! I had a phase of really bad blocked nose / runny nose during pregnancy too. Chlorpheniramine is the preferred antihistamine for pregnancy. I did check with a GP and did my own search on medical journals. It's unclear if the newer generations of antihistamines would have an impact on the fetus (since there isn't really a good way to do any clinical trial on pregnant women). This list of safer meds is also available on healthhub: https://www.healthhub.sg/live-healthy/1051/safe-use-of-medicines-during-pregnancy I found warm compress on my face really helpful too. Would be helpful to check with your GP at least. Hope you feel better soon!
