What do I do...

I am so sick! I was up all night b/c my throat feels like it is on fire!

I woke up congested, head hurts, and throat is so scratchy.

This is my first PG & I am just about 18weeks...am I allowed to take anything? Do I call my Ob or go to a walk in clinic?

I am feel so horrible

I have been off work since 12/20 and tomorrow is my first day back, and I am so sick!

Re: What do I do...

I would probably go to your regular practitioner and of course tell them you're pregnant if you're not showing yet. They'll be able to give you the best advice and take the guess work out of meds for you.

I hope you feel better - it's so miserable to feel sick while your pregnant. :(

Re: What do I do...

You should definitely go to the doctor and get checked out. But I wouldn't take anything without checking with your OB first - esp since I notice there is a big difference in what the different doctors okay.

But for now you can definitely steam (which should help with the congestion), use a humidifier, drink lot of warm fluids (decafe tea with honey, warm lemonade).

Feel better soon!!
