Haan na, cold and cough is so irritating during pregnancy. A normal Vicks candy is fine occasionally, but don't eat too many ho na. Better to have warm ginger water.

Beta, throat infection ke liye warm water se gargle kar lo aur honey ginger le lo. Try to avoid too many outside lozenges. Safe raho aur dhyan rakho.

I was also wondering about this because my throat is so scratchy today. Is it safe or should we stick to warm water and salt gargles? Let me know if your doctor allowed it.

Actually, when I had a bad sore throat, my gynac told me an occasional Vicks candy is okay, but suggested warm steam inhalation as the safest option. It cleared my nose instantly.

I'm in my 2nd trimester and super anxious about taking anything, even cough drops. Did anyone's doctor say Vicks drops are 100% safe? I'm trying to avoid medicines as much as possible.
