Can i use ear drops during pregnancy?

Question

My ear has been blocked and paining for 2 days, 16 weeks pregnant. Scared to use anything without checking. Will ask my doc but wanted to know if others used drops safely.

Yaar, pregnancy mein bina doctor se pooche koi bhi drops mat daalna kaan mein. Gynac se ek baar pooch lo na, safely batayenge.

Better to ask your doctor first! 👂 Some ear drops contain chemicals that might not be safe right now, so a quick call to your gynac is best!

I had severe ear blockage along with my nausea, it was so irritating. My doctor prescribed pregnancy-safe drops, so please don't use any random ones from the chemist.

I would strongly suggest calling your doctor before putting any ear drops. During pregnancy, we have to be very careful with even minor OTC medicines.

My mom always advised me not to put any local medicines or ear drops without asking the doctor first. Please call your gynac to get a safe prescription.

No, don't use any over-the-counter ear drops right now. Go to your ENT or gynac and let them prescribe something that is safe for the baby.
