My nose is blocked mostly at night and I cant sleep properly. I am avoiding medicines unless doctor says, but it is getting irritating. What did you do for blocked nose in pregnancy?
Oh the blocked nose in pregnancy is so annoying, i had it the whole time. Steam inhalation and a saline nasal spray helped me a lot, both are safe. Dont take any decongestant tablet without asking doctor though, lot of them arent allowed.
Saline drops, steam, and a humidifier in the room, thats my whole kit. Pregnancy makes the nose swell up, its called pregnancy rhinitis and its very common. Avoid random nasal sprays from medical shop unless doc says ok.
This is so common dont worry. Stay hydrated, take steam twice a day and prop ur head up while sleeping. If it comes with fever or u feel really unwell, then check with ur doctor, otherwise it usually settles.
Beta simple steam from hot water works wonders, just be careful not to burn urself. Keeping a slightly raised pillow at night also helps u breathe. For anything stronger like medicine, do ask ur doctor first.
