My nose stays blocked almost daily now and I cant take my usual medicines. Its really irritating at night, cant sleep properly. Any safe gharelu tricks that worked for you all? im 22 weeks.
I panicked when I had a stuffy nose for weeks, thinking it was a severe sinus infection. But it turned out to be just pregnancy hormones swelling the nasal passages, and a simple saline nasal spray from my doctor cleared it right up!
I was so scared to even use Vicks because I thought it might affect the baby! Honestly, simple steam inhalation is the safest thing. But if it gets really bad and you can't sleep, check with your gynac once.
Ghar pe normal steam le lo, and sleep with an extra pillow to keep your head elevated. If you have a humidifier, use that, but don't use any nasal drops without doctor's advice.
