I have blocked nose at night and usually apply menthol balm on chest. Now I am pregnant and suddenly scared to use even small things. Did your doctor allow rubs for congestion?
External rubs in small amounts are usually considered fine, but everyone differs so its best to run it by ur gynac, especially anything u apply often. For persistent cold or fever do see the doctor instead of just balm.
I used balm for headache during my pregnancy, just a little on the forehead, it helped. Keep it small and external only. For anything more than a mild cold, please go to doctor na.
For a blocked nose or body ache I used a little balm on the chest and it was fine, but only a small amount. Dont put too much and avoid the tummy. If u have a bad cold or fever, better show the doctor than rely only on balm.
A little for cold or aches is generally ok for most, used externally in small amount. I did. But if ur unsure or have sensitive skin, just ask ur gynac, takes one minute to confirm.
