Brief Answer:
URTI and pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to hcm,
She has been advised paracetamol ( fever body ache)and MONTAIR ( mast cell stabiliser) in low dose and safe in pregnancy as well but they shall provide symptomatic relief. But considering that infection has set in with sputum becoming yellow , indicating bacterial infection, she can be placed on CAP AMOXYCILLIN 500mg twice a day for 3 days . This is completely safe in pregnancy.
Also she should start saline warm water gargles thrice a day and also plain water steam inhalation twice a day for controlling rhinitis and throat irritation.
This would help.
Regards

Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for the quick reply
Does she have to continue "Calpol650 & montair LC" with amoxycillin 500 ?
i mean does she has to take all the 3 tab mentioned above.
if yes then the dose of Calpol and Montair needs to be kept same i.e. 0-0-1 for 3 days ?
Will eating all these tab i.e cold + Preg., cause any side effects ?
