Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
I have gone through the drug list you have mentioned.
Hexilon is methylprednisolone. Loratidine is antihistamine. Deriphyllin is oral bronchodilator. Beclomethasone is steroid spray.
All these drugs are safe in pregnancy. So no need to worry for damage to baby.
Along with these drugs, do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep yourself hydrated.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
