3DPO and last night started getting a sore throat and woke up this morning with post nasal drip and sore throat.

I've read that the immune system drops during TTW to support conception

Is it ok to drink tumeric tea, will this intervene with what the body is trying to do ie boost immunity? Also is it safe to take paracetmol, lemsip etc during this period

Ta!

It's not something people advise to avoid when pregnant, so can assume it's very safe. Many ethnicities use tumeric in their staple meals.

Paracetamol and Lemsip also fine. When pregnant NHS suggests avoiding Ibuprofen unless prescribed - so may wish to avoid in case you have conceived.

From what I was told its fine to take in the amounts in food but not to drink tumeric tea or tumeric supplements

As you all ready have two opposing opinions on its safety it’s probably best to ask your midwife!

Thanks everyone. To be on safe side I'll avoid tumeric tea. Taken some pseacetmols tonight
