Caught a bad cold this week and my nose is completely blocked, feeling miserable. Im 5 months and dont want to take any random medicine without checking. Any safe home remedies that helped you ladies?
Honestly I just doubled up on rest, fluids and steam, and it passed in few days. Avoid self medicating, even simple cold meds need doctor okay in pregnancy. If you get fever, call your gynac instead of waiting.
Beta, warm water, steam, and rest are the safest first steps, thats what we always did. A little turmeric milk helps soothe too. But please dont take any cold tablet on your own, ask the doctor.
My cold turned into a high fever once and I learnt not to ignore it. For a normal cold home care is enough, but if fever, breathlessness or it drags on, see your doctor quickly. Dont take chances.
