Caught a bad cold and blocked nose, im 20 weeks and scared to take any medicine on my own. Looking for safe ghar ke nuskhe that actually help. What did u all do during pregnancy for cold?
Just stick to basic steam inhalation twice a day and warm salt water gargles. These are simple, cost nothing, and are 100% safe during pregnancy. Avoid taking over-the-counter cold tablets without a doctor's slip.
My mother-in-law used to give me warm water infused with dry ginger and jeera. It is very soothing for the throat. But if you run a high fever with the cold, please consult your doctor immediately.
My saas always made me a warm cup of haldi doodh (turmeric milk) whenever I caught a cold during my pregnancy. It works wonders and is completely safe. Just avoid heavy medications without asking your doctor.
Take plenty of rest and sip warm water throughout the day [1.2.4]. A spoonful of honey with a drop of ginger juice also helps soothe a bad cough safely.
When you are busy with work, a cold is so annoying. Try doing steam inhalation with plain water and drink warm tulsi water. It's quick, safe, and doesn't take much time.
Getting a cold when you are already dealing with pregnancy fatigue is so draining, I totally feel you. Try drinking warm vegetable soups or rasam to get some strength and soothe your throat. Hang in there, you will feel better soon.
