URTI ongoing
Hi fellow mommies! Just a quick & stupid qn but is it normal to have sore throat & runny nose during first trimester? How to recover quickly by self medicating? As my first gynae check will only happen next week… I’m not sure. Please advice!
Hey mum, I understand how worrying it is when you're not feeling well in early pregnancy. But this one better not wait lah, please go see your GP or a polyclinic before next week's gynae appointment. They can check you properly and advise what's safe to take during your first trimester, because not all medicines are okay at this stage. Sore throat and runny nose could be just a normal cold, but best to get it confirmed and managed properly rather than self-medicate and risk something you're not sure about. Take care of yourself.
