Caught a bad cold and blocked nose since 2 days, im 16 weeks. Avoiding any medicine on my own and will ask gynac. Just wanted to know does a normal cold affect the baby? im a little tensed.
I caught a bad cold while dealing with severe morning sickness, and it was so exhausting. It won't harm the baby, but please don't take random over-the-counter meds. Just stick to hot soups, steam inhalation, and call your gynac if you run a fever.
A normal cold isn't dangerous, but you have to be very careful not to self-medicate. I had gestational diabetes so I had to monitor everything strictly; even for a cold, I only took steam and checked with my doctor before taking any tablets.
I got a blocked nose yesterday in my second trimester and got so worried! My doctor said a simple cold is fine, but I shouldn't take any random pills. Is anyone else also surviving on just steam and hot water right now?
Haan, cold thoda uncomfortable toh hota hai na, par baby ke liye dangerous nahi hai. Bus bina doc se pooche koi bhi cough syrup ya goli mat lena. Ghar pe thoda garm paani piyo aur steam lo, aaram milega.
