I have a stuffy nose and usually use Otrivin, but now I'm pregnant. I'm unsure if it's safe to use during this time. Can anyone share if they've used it or know if it's allowed?
Haan na, pregnancy me cold hona is so annoying, sleep pattern pure disturb ho jata hai. But actually, Otrivin use karne se pehle please doctor se pucho na. Home remedies like steam inhalation are much safer, ho na.
I felt so miserable with a blocked nose during my first trimester, it was awful. But I was terrified of using anything, so I didn't take Otrivin. Honestly, I felt it's much safer to ask the gynac before taking any medicine, even nasal sprays.
I completely understand how exhausting it is when you can't even breathe properly, pregnancy makes everything so hard. Please don't be hard on yourself, but do check with your doctor before using Otrivin. Sending you so much love, you are doing great.
My little one is a naughty toddler now, but I still remember how scared I was of every little medicine during pregnancy. I had severe congestion too, but my doctor advised against Otrivin and told me to use saline drops instead. Don't worry, this phase will pass, just consult your doctor first.
I panicked so much when I accidentally used a nasal spray once without asking my doctor! But my doctor reassured me it was fine but told me not to use it again. It's always best to check with your gynac before taking Otrivin, steam really helps in the meantime!
With hospital delivery costs and test charges being so high nowadays, we really can't afford any self-medication complications. I had a blocked nose too, but I just used a simple steam inhaler at home. Better to ask your doctor before buying any OTC sprays like Otrivin.
