Cough and congestion during pregnancy?

I am pregnant 21 weeks and I have a cough and congestion, what can I take to relieve it? Tylenols do almost nothing.

Hello, thank you for your question!
For your symptoms, the most effective and safe solution is to use a saline solution to clean your sinuses (Hydrasense or Sinus Rinse), which can be used as many times a day as you need (at least 1 hour before bedtime though). This product is a little bit unpleasant but it works extremely well for the symptoms you described.
If you have a sore throat, you should also know that Fisherman's Friend lozenges, which are menthol based, are safe during pregnancy.
Do you have any other questions?
