I'm seven months pregnant and I've been dealing with a dry cough since this morning. I'm considering taking Benadryl DR, but I'm not sure if it's safe at this stage of pregnancy. Are there other cough syrups you would recommend that are safe for me to use? I'm just experiencing a dry cough, nothing else weird going on.
