Im in my 6th month and have been down with a bad cold for 3 days, blocked nose and all. Im scared to take any medicine on my own. What home remedies did u guys use that are safe?
For a normal cold just go natural, steam, warm fluids, gargle with salt water and lots of rest. Dont take any cold medicine on your own in pregnancy. If there is fever or it lingers more than a few days, call your gynac.
Beta for a mild cold, warm water with a little haldi, steam inhalation and rest help a lot. Some warm soup and tulsi adrak kadha is soothing too. But if you get fever or it gets bad, dont self treat, go to your doctor.
My family always relied on warm rasam, steam and good rest for colds, and it really helps in pregnancy too. Drink enough warm water. For anything with fever or breathing trouble, do see your gynac, dont take chances.
I would be careful with anything beyond simple home stuff. Steam and warm liquids are safe. But please dont pop any tablet without your doctor knowing, even normal cold meds can need checking in pregnancy. Ring your gynac if fever comes.
Yaar i had a cold in my 5th month, actually just did steam twice a day and drank warm haldi milk. Felt much better in 3 to 4 days. Bas koi medicine apne aap mat lena, doc se poochna.
