Bad cold se band naak ho gyi and i cant sleep at night. Normally i just rub vicks but now im 2nd trimester so not sure if its ok on the chest and nose. Koi used it during pregnancy?
Yes, you can use Vicks during pregnancy, there is no issue. Just apply a little bit on your chest or forehead, but don't do strong steam inhalation with it without asking your doc.
I am currently trying to conceive and was wondering about this too! It is so good to know we don't have to completely give up simple things like Vicks when we get a cold.
Since I had a high-risk pregnancy, I was scared to use even Vicks. I'd recommend just asking your doctor once before applying any over-the-counter balms.
My care team at the hospital told me that external ointments like Vicks are generally safe. You can still drop a quick message to your gynac's coordinator to be 100% sure.
Oh god, when my morning sickness was bad, strong smells like Vicks made me gag so much. But if you have a cold, applying a tiny bit on your throat can help, just keep the room airy so the smell isn't too overwhelming.
My MIL advised me to use hot water steam with a little turmeric instead of balms. I still asked my doctor and she said a tiny bit of Vicks for a blocked nose is perfectly fine to use.
