Since pregnancy is a very delicate state, we can say that no drug is 100 percent safe for all women. We have to be careful with any drug, even with over-the-counter medication or OTC drugs. The best thing to do is consult your GP or obstetrician. They both know your health situation and can recommend what will work best for you. Do not take more than the prescribed dose and better avoid taking any medication at all during the first trimester. This is the time when the fetus is most vulnerable.more

Avoid eating excessive amounts of cough drops containing menthol. Large amounts of menthol can reduce milk supply.
Expectorant cough mixtures
medicines containing guaifenesin can be taken by breastfeeding mothers to relieve a chesty cough.
Nasal decongestant sprays or drops will act directly on the nasal passages to relieve congestion and reduce absorption into the mother’s body. These may prove to be a safer alternative to decongestant tablets.
