My wife is 37 and in her 8th month of pregnancy with our second baby. She's been struggling with a heavy cold, runny nose, sneezing, cough, a mild fever, headache, and a burning throat with some pain. She's been taking Dolo 650 and Okacet 10mg, but they don't seem to be helping much. Could you recommend any other medications that might be safe for her during pregnancy? We're really concerned and would appreciate any advice you could offer.

I'm a bit concerned about taking Estrabet 2mg because I've read online that it's not recommended if you're planning to get pregnant. My doctor advised me to use it for a few weeks, but now I'm confused and worried it might not be safe. Could you help me understand if it's alright to take this medication while trying to conceive?
