I have a stuffy nose and usually use Vicks VapoRub for relief. Now that I'm pregnant, I'm not sure if it's safe to apply. Is it okay to use Vicks during pregnancy, or should I avoid it?
Vicks is totally fine for external use, no need to suffer through a blocked nose. Just make sure you are not inhaling it directly through boiling water steam unless your doctor says it's okay. Plain steam is safer.
Applying Vicks externally is completely safe for cold and congestion. Just don't put it near your nose or use too much, and try to drink warm water throughout the day. It really helps!
Yes, you can apply a little Vicks on your chest and back, it is quite safe. My mother also suggests hot steam inhalation with a drop of eucalyptus oil for quick relief, but check with your doctor if the cold gets severe.
Haan, you can apply it. My saas always tells me to rub Vicks on the soles of my feet and wear socks before sleeping when I have a cold. It actually works wonders ghar pe!
Applying Vicks is safe, ho na. Just apply a thoda bit on your neck or chest if you have a cold. But if you have a high fever, please consult your doctor immediately.
I used Vicks on my forehead and chest whenever I had a blocked nose during my pregnancy, and it was absolutely fine. Just avoid eating any random cold tablets and stick to safe external remedies like this.
Yes, you can apply Vicks, thank god for small mercies! I literally live on Vicks and steam inhalers right now in my third trimester because I can't sleep anyway. Just don't swallow it, haha.
