I've caught a cold and it's making me feel miserable. I'm pregnant, so I'm hesitant to take any over-the-counter medicines. What are some safe ways to handle a cold during pregnancy?
I feel your pain, being sick while pregnant is the hardest thing because your body is already so tired. Sending u so much love. Please just pamper yourself, have warm soups, and let your body rest.
I had severe nausea along with a cold, it was absolute torture. What helped me was hot ginger water with a little lemon, it helped both my throat and my stomach. Try to rest as much as u can.
Ugh, coughing with a cold is so painful, especially if u have any tummy aches. I remember how hard it was after my C-section to even sneeze, so please treat this cold early. Stick to steam inhalation and warm kadha, and ask your doc for pregnancy-safe syrups.
My mother-in-law told me to drink warm pepper jeera rasam, which actually helps a lot with congestion. But please check with your doctor once if u have a fever. Take it easy and drink lots of warm water.
Congrats, your baby is already testing your patience before even coming out! Just grab a blanket, make your husband bring you hot ginger tea, and watch your favorite show. No heavy medicines, okay, only steam and pampering!
When I had a cold, my mom made me hot turmeric milk and gave me warm water to drink all day. Staying ghar pe with parents really helped because they took care of everything. Just take steam twice a day, it really clears the nose naturally.
Listen, don't take any random over-the-counter pills right now. Just do warm salt water gargles three times a day and take steam. If the fever comes or you feel too breathless, call your gynac immediately, okay? Take rest.
Oh god cold in pregnancy is so scary because we cant take normal medicines! I used to worry if coughing would affect the baby, but don't worry, baby is safe inside. Just stick to hot water steam and ask your doctor before taking any tablets.
