My nose is fully blocked since 2 days and i cant breathe properly at night. Im 14 weeks. I usually use otrivin but now thoda scared to use anything. Planning to ask my gynac but wanted to hear from u all first.
I'm always super cautious about giving any medical advice. Personally, I just stuck to steam inhalation and home remedies like saline drops when I had a stuffy nose during pregnancy, never used any medicated spray. For something like Otrivin, it's really important to discuss it with your doctor or gynac before using it, okay?
After my C-section, I realised how careful doctors are about every single thing you put into your body during pregnancy and even postpartum. For something like Otrivin, which is a medicine, it's really important to ask your own gynac. They'll tell you what's safe for your specific situation. Better safe than sorry.
When you're pregnant, it's always best to be very careful with any kind of medicine, even simple sprays. Please call your doctor or gynac and ask them directly about Otrivin. They can tell you what is safe for you and the baby.
Oh, I totally remember the misery of a blocked nose during pregnancy! It's so frustrating when you can't breathe properly. But please, darling, for any medicine like a nasal spray, you *must* check with your gynac first. Your baby's safety is most important, haan.
At our premium hospital, the doctors and nurses were very clear about one thing: never take any medication, not even a nasal spray, without confirming with your gynecologist first. They have specific guidelines for pregnancy. So, for Otrivin, please call your doctor and get their go-ahead.
