We use dettol at ghar pe for cleaning and also sometimes in bath water. Now that im pregnant I started wondering if the smell or chemical is okay na. Is it fine to keep using it normally?
Oh, Dettol? I use it for cleaning at home. But during pregnancy, I'm not sure. For anything that touches your skin or is in the air, maybe it's better to check with the doctor first. It feels safer to be very careful with everything, ho na.
Regarding Dettol use during pregnancy, generally, for surface cleaning and disinfection in well-ventilated areas, it's typically considered safe as long as direct skin contact or inhalation of strong fumes is minimized. However, using it for personal hygiene or on skin wounds needs caution. My doctor specifically advised against using strong antiseptics like Dettol directly on sensitive areas or for baths during pregnancy, recommending milder, prescribed alternatives if needed. Always prioritize consulting your healthcare provider for specific guidance.
Haan ji, Dettol toh ghar ghar mein use hota hai cleaning ke liye, na. Par pregnancy mein skin pe ya zyada smell mein aana shayad theek nahi hoga. Main toh safe side pe rehti thi, halka phulka cleaner use karti thi jisme zyada chemicals na hon. Doctor se confirm kar lo, woh best batayenge.
Dettol is a common household item, but during pregnancy, you really need to be selective about what chemicals you expose yourself to. It's not about the cost of Dettol, but the potential health implications. Using it in diluted form for cleaning floors is one thing, but direct skin contact is another. To avoid any unnecessary doctor visits or tests later due to some exposure, it's best to confirm with your doctor about its safety profile for all uses.
Actually, when I had gestational diabetes, my doctor told me to be super careful about everything, not just food. So for Dettol, it's best to ask your gynac. Maybe for general cleaning it's okay, but definitely not for direct skin use or anything that might be absorbed. Always err on the side of caution.
