[Alexa808]

Was I wrong to do this? Dosage is 500mg.

Can't find advice on internet, so really need your input.

Thanks so much!!

what is in it?

is it just paracetemol?

yes, 500mg

seems dosage is higher than normal white one

just paracetemol is ok, i think normal tabs are 250mg so one 500mg will be same.

am just feeling so confused.

am in singapore with ear ache, sore throat and runny nose and headache.

the frickin doctor prescribed antihistamines which are classified as harmful to fetus on safefetus.com

had a meltdown and am freaked out now and def. paranoid first time mum

Paracetamol is fine.

You know what - part of my work involves monitoring and investigating the safety of drugs in pregnancy. You would be amazed at the amount of stuff that some (ill) pregnant patients have to take, and they, and their babies are fine. I am not saying don't be cautious and careful BTW. But try not to worry.

Normal paracetamol dose is 500-1000mg, max 4000mg in 24 hours so don't worry!

Thanks so much to all of you for coming so swiftly to my aide! Feel pretty low because of nose, throat, etc. anyway.

Anyone got a natural remedy for ear ache? It's driving me up the wall. Got sinus infection but ears not inflamed yet, just achy.
