  • Rather than a cough syrup you could use a sore throat gargle so you don’t digest it. I find the Betadine sore throut gargle quite good.


  • Read the label, it should advise you there. Cough syrup is pretty useless so I dont know why you would think you need it


  • Also check with a pharmacist, is a good idea when it comes to any medication.


  • Best to check any medication with GP.


  • Personally I think it’s questionable if cough syrups really help. Certainly during pregnancy you could look into natural remedies. https://www.healthline.com/health/allergies/best-natural-cough-remedies#marshmallow


  • Check with gp or ask at chemist. I think you should avoid any medication while pregnant or breatsfeeding.
