Is Tylenol Cold okay to take? I am about 6 1/2 weeks and just came down with the worst cold!

I would just stick with Tylenol Cold unless your doctor recommends something else. That is my opinion. That is all that my dr has ever told me I could take is tyelnol products. So just be safe and stick to it

Check out www.safefetus.com. It tells you if the drug will interfere with the baby. Good luck!
