I had PCOS and always worried about extra chemicals or sugars during pregnancy. Vicks candy has menthol, which might not be great in large amounts. Better to ask your doctor before popping them.
I am planning to conceive and always wonder about this because I get throat infections often. Are normal cough drops really not safe during these nine months?
May God keep you healthy, dear. For mild cough, it's better to try warm water with tulsi or ginger instead of candies. Stay positive and take care of yourself.
When I got a cold right before my C-section, I was told to avoid medical candies. I used ginger steam and warm water instead, which was much safer for my recovery. Do consult your doctor.
Oh, don't stress too much over one candy! But honestly, Vicks lozenges have strong menthol, so just avoid eating them like regular sweets. Hot ginger tea is way better anyway.
Skip the Vicks drops, they have artificial menthol which isn't recommended in high doses. Stick to ginger-honey tea or warm water gargles, they work much better.
From my experience, I avoided lozenges because of the active ingredients. Warm water with turmeric and honey really helped soothe my throat when I had a cold. Try natural remedies first.
