Can i have vicks cough drops menthol during pregnancy?
Galaa kharab hai aur khaansi bhi thodi, ghar pe vicks cough drops pade hai. Pregnancy me ye menthol wali drops le sakte hai kya? 2nd trimester chal raha hai, doc se kal puchungi but tab tak koi bataye to relief mile.
Having gone through IVF, I know how terrifying it is to put any unknown medication in your body. I avoided over-the-counter cough drops completely. Steam with a pinch of turmeric in warm water was my go-to safe remedy.
Just take a deep breath and keep your mind peaceful, you will feel better soon. Try to avoid these commercial drops if possible. Drinking warm milk with a little turmeric is very soothing and safe for the baby.
Menthol drops like Vicks are generally okay in moderation, but don't eat them like candy. Active ingredients can sometimes irritate. If your cough is bad, please ask your doctor for a safe cough syrup instead of self-treating.
I am planning my pregnancy and already making a list of what's safe and what's not. I always thought Vicks drops were completely harmless, but is menthol actually safe? Will ask my doctor about this in my next pre-conception checkup.
Given my PCOS history, I was extremely cautious about taking anything over the counter. I avoided Vicks drops and instead did steam inhalation twice a day. It is always better to double check with your gynac before taking even a cough drop.
My mother-in-law suggested hot water with pepper and honey, which really helped my throat. I did ask my doctor about Vicks drops, and she said one or two is fine but warned against taking too many.
actually Vicks drops might have too much menthol which can cause heat in the body, yaar. it's better to avoid them if you can. just do salt water gargles, it works like magic and has zero side effects!
Beta, bahar ki goliyan khane se achha hai tum ghar pe adrak aur tulsi ki chai piyo. Thoda garm paani me namak daal kar kulla karo, gale ko bahut aaram milega. Jyada dawaiyan pregnancy me thik nahi hoti.
I totally understand how frustrating it is to deal with a sore throat when you are already dealing with pregnancy changes. Please don't take any risks with cough drops right now. Give your body some warm steam and check with your lovely doctor.
I had a horrible cough last month before delivering. My doctor told me to avoid too many menthol drops because they can cause acidity. Instead, warm water gargles and ginger tea kept me going.
