Cough syrup in pregnancy

2022-06-30 20:35:31
I am 23 weeks pregnant and having cough since last 2 days. I accidentally took 2 doses of Alex-L (which my husband was prescribed for cough) and 2 doses of emcof (a herbal cough syrup). Now when I searched the effect on pregnancy it shows its not recommended in pregnancy. I am extremely anxious! Can you please advise if it is ok or what should I do next?
