Is Stodal Safe To Take During Pregnancy?

Hi, I am pregnant for 11 weeks and planning to travel to India in my 14th week. Is it ok? Is it OK to go for a Flu jab in 2nd trimester? I am suffering with severe cough and cold. GP prescribed Amoxycillin for 8 days and I did the course. After finishing the course, 2 days later I gain caught the same. What should I do? Can I take Stodal (Homeopathic Syrup) in 1st trimester?

Hi,

During the first trimester of pregnancy, most of the medicines should be avoided unless the potential benefits outweigh the risks. While you are having flu symptoms and have already used amoxicillin for 8 days, I would recommend you start doing gargles with warm saline water. Besides, clove tea is the best remedy you can start taking at night. Avoid drinking water during and after meal. If symptoms don't improve you can start using nasal decongestant spray.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
