Can I take alcohol-free NyQuil (for children) while pregnant?

Good morning, Mrs,

This type of product is not recommended during pregnancy.

If your only symptom is a sore throat, acetaminophen (Tylenol and other brands) is the first line of treatment.

I also suggest lozenges such as Halls or Fisherman's Friend if needed, for local throat relief.

I also encourage you to drink plenty of fluids, cold or hot, as you prefer.

If symptoms persist for more than 7 days without improvement, you should consult a physician. In the meantime, please contact your pharmacist to confirm the continuation of your inhalers, if necessary.

I hope I've been helpful, and I'm available if you have any further questions!
