### Human:\nare there any over the counter cough meds that are safe in the 3rd trimester to use?\n\n### Assistant: when it comes to any medication -- over the counter or prescription -- you need to call your obstetrician's office for patient-specific advice and recommendations. i can assure you that they have had this question before. while many ob's have prescribed codeine-containing cough suppressants others will not use them. honey is a good cough suppressant too. and considered safe if store-bought and purified. the real question might be the underlying reason for your cough. that maybe something you should investigate before treating it.
