I think they're fine, my doctors answer to everything is no!</p> <p>Eta: I'd call and ask to talk to a nurse to see what you can do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bronchitis-chest-cold-allergies-while-preg#post-897058 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 20:57:27 +0000 kjpugs 897058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ladybee: yikes I never thought to ask about my allergy eye drops (target non prescription)</p> <p>I wonder if Benadryl will help with the chest congestion? That's my biggest issue honestly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bronchitis-chest-cold-allergies-while-preg#post-897052 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 20:54:24 +0000 ladybee 897052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs: I have bad allergies and I take Benadryl daily and use a sinus wash. I was told I could use my allergy eye drops and flonase as needed after 20 weeks.<br /> I hope you feel better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bronchitis-chest-cold-allergies-while-preg#post-897050 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 20:51:52 +0000 kjpugs 897050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jennimac: ahh Benadryl the one thing I wish I had and don't. (We usually have it but used it on the dogs recently after a fire ant attack!) That's on my list to pick up tomorrow!</p> <p>My allergies tend to come and go- I had something like this when I lived in NC and they put me on an inhaler, but it went away after a little bit. I'm really hoping it starts to fade on it's own! I'm also turning up the humidifier full blast tonight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bronchitis-chest-cold-allergies-while-preg#post-897023 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 20:37:24 +0000 singingbee 897023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have bad allergies. I get shots every two weeks and take meds daily. I can take Claritin while pregnant and at night I take liquid Benadryl. I also use my saline rinse. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bronchitis-chest-cold-allergies-while-preg#post-896982 Sun, 30 Jun 2013 20:10:30 +0000 kjpugs 896982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Blergggg. I think southern allergies are at work for me right now. I made a doctor's appointment for tomorrow when the symptoms started Friday (thinking I was getting bronchitis) I have the urge to cough and some of that heavier chest feeling, but also I keep waking up with a dry mouth (even with a humidifier) and having itchy eyes/congestion/stuffy nose, along with an on and off sore throat. It hasn't gotten worse and I really started thinking it's allergies so I cancelled my doctor's appointment tomorrow. Last time I went thinking it was an ear infection, it was.... ALLERGIES. And cleared up in a few days.</p> <p>Oh, and I'll be 26 weeks pregnant tomorrow. I'm 95% sure it's allergies. I haven't dealt with them in years (we recently moved) any favorite ways to deal with them while knocked up? I have my doctor's approved meds list but wanted to hear what's worked for you bees! </p>
