Q: Safe Medicines During Prenancy

I am 28 weeks pregnant with a cold. The last time I had a cold I didn't take any medication because of the pregnancy and I quicky ended up in the hospital with pnuemonia. Everywhere I look for info I get different answers on what is and isn't safe to take... I don't have time to be sick but I dont want to harm my child by taking the wrong medication. Does anyone know a good relief for runny nose, sniffles, and itchy eyes that will not harm my baby? Rolling Eyes
