Caught a bad cold and runny nose since 2 days and im in my first trimester so dont want to pop any random medicine. Just want some safe gharelu ways to feel better. How did u all manage?
I just delivered my baby recently and had a terrible cold in my 8th month. My doctor told me to strictly avoid over-the-counter cold tablets and suggested simple saline nasal drops and warm tulsi tea. It took 3-4 days but I felt much better naturally.
I am going through the same thing right now, this blocked nose is so annoying! I am currently taking steam inhalation twice a day which helps a bit. Are you also taking any warm ginger water, or did your doctor suggest any safe syrup?
During my pregnancy, I caught a bad cold but was too scared to take any pills due to my cautious nature. Steam inhalation and salt water gargles really helped me clear the congestion. But if you get a fever, please don't wait and check with your gynac immediately.
Dealing with a cold while pregnant is the worst, and now I have to manage it with a crying baby and zero sleep! Honestly, just stick to steam, warm water, and lots of rest. Don't pop any pills on your own, just call your doctor if it gets bad.
I am planning to conceive and I read that we should avoid taking heavy cold medicines. Simple home remedies like warm turmeric milk or hot soup are much safer. Please take plenty of rest and stay warm.
