Caught a bad cold and blocked nose since 2 days, feeling miserable. Scared to take any random medicine right now. What safe things did you all do for relief?
Please don't take any over-the-counter cold medicines on your own, as some can be risky during pregnancy. When I had complications, I learned to ask my doctor for even minor things. If you have a fever, call your gynac immediately.
I panicked so much when I got a cold in my 2nd month, thinking it would affect the baby! But it is totally normal. Just do warm water gargles and use a saline nasal spray, you'll be absolutely fine in a few days.
I know how exhausting it is to deal with a blocked nose when you're already carrying so much weight. Sending you a big hug. Please take steam twice a day and drink warm turmeric milk, it will ease your chest.
Having a cold in pregnancy is the worst, yaar. Actually, we can't even take our regular pills. Just stick to hot water steam inhalation and ginger-tulsi tea, it works like magic.
When I had a cold, all I wanted was hot, spicy tomato soup! It cleared my nose instantly and tasted amazing. Try hot soups and herbal teas, they are super comforting and safe.
