Bad cold and blocked nose since 2 din, im in my 2nd trimester. I usually apply vicks on chest and feet at night but now im scared if its safe for baby. Koi bata sakta hai if its okay or should i ask gynac first?
Honestly, for any topical creams or balms during pregnancy, you really should check with your gynac first. Har body different react karti hai, na. Even if it's external, always best to be safe and confirm with your doctor.
Ho na, I also wondered this! Thoda bahar se lagana theek hai for congestion, like chest ya nose ke paas. But andar ya bohot zyada lagana is not advisable. Best to ask your doc once to be safe, na?
Vicks, haan, theek hai, but only a little bit on your chest or back. Don't apply it near your nostrils directly or ingest it, that's not good. Better to avoid it if you can and just use steam, woh zyada safe hai.
Haaye, Vicks! My nose was so blocked I wanted to bathe in it, haha. But seriously, just a tiny bit on your chest or throat for congestion is probably fine. If you're really worried, try a hot water steam instead; it works wonders!
Mere saas ne toh bola tha ki halka sa laga sakte hain, like for a mild cold, but not too much. Ghar pe log usually warm water se steam lene ko bolte hain, woh zyada safe hai aur effective bhi. Bahut zyada Vicks lagane se thoda bachna chahiye.
