I'm 17 weeks pregnant and I've had a cold and cough recently. The cold is gone, but now I just have a dry cough that's making it really hard to sleep. Plus, my throat really hurts from all the coughing. I'm looking for some pregnancy-safe medicine that can give quick relief because the pain is just too much. By the way, I got tested and it's not COVID. Can you help me out with what I can take?
