Dear, chlorpheniramine is an antihistamine and is sometimes given, but in pregnancy, we should never take any medicine over the counter. Just call your doctor's clinic and ask them once. Meanwhile, steam inhalation can give you some quick relief.
Honestly, pregnancy brain is real, but I still remember my doc saying no self-medication! I’m currently surviving on 2 hours of sleep and coffee, but my advice is to just call your gynac. Don't play chemist right now, keep it simple and safe!
Beta, when I had a cold at my mum's place, mummy used to make hot kaadha instead of letting me take random tablets. Better not to take chlorpheniramine or any other medicine without asking your doctor first. Ghar ke nuskhe like warm steam and ginger tea work so well and are 100% safe.
It's always better to be safe than sorry during these nine months. My doctor had a very strict 'no OTC meds' rule, and it kept things so smooth for my delivery. A quick call to your gynac will give you the right answer and peace of mind!
Oh god, please check with your gynac before taking any allergy pills! I used to search every drug name on Google and get so paranoid. Some medicines are okay but it's always best to let your doctor decide the exact safe brand and dosage for u.
