I'm just curious if any of you girls know the answer to this.... I kind of assumed being preggers and all that I couldn't have cough drops (I am sooo sick with a cold, I have been since Wednesday), and I am miserably coughing and my throat is just raw from all the clearing I have to do just to speak to people at work (I think I'm beyond the contagious stage, the coughs are usually the last leg of my colds). So I talked to our pharmacist and he said I would be better talking to my OB (except it's a holiday weekend and I'm not really trying to bug him with a question about cough drops), but that I could have cough drops that have pectin (I think that's what he said) in them, but I cannot have anything that has menthol in it, well that's every cough drop in the store, so no cough drops for me, but does anyone know why the menthol is so bad? I'm just curious.....
