Can I take throat lozenges and syrup while I am in the early stages of the flu?

Yes, you can take honey lozenges for your sore throat if you're pregnant and have the flu. It's also okay to take regular Tylenol (325mg) if you have a fever or sore throat. As for cough syrup, it's only necessary if you have a cough, not for a sore throat. Syrups containing only dextromethorphan (DM) are safe for pregnant women, although they may not be very effective. Make sure to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and maybe try some chicken soup. Hope this helps.
