I've been having terrible nasal congestion lately and it's making it hard to sleep. Can I use regular nasal drops for relief, or are they unsafe during pregnancy?
i literally had severe pregnancy rhinitis just 3 months back before my delivery. my doctor strictly told me to use only saline drops and take hot steam twice a day. it worked slowly but safely.
honestly, why buy expensive drops when a basic steam inhalation with a drop of pudhara hara or just plain water works wonders? if u must buy, ask the chemist for basic saline drops only.
i'm also suffering from a blocked nose right now in my second trimester! my doctor told me to avoid normal decongestant drops. what home remedies are you guys using for steam?
don't stress too much, pregnancy congestion is super common! just avoid the heavy medicated drops from the pharmacy. stick to simple saline drops and a hot steam inhalation, you'll feel better.
ho na, pregnancy nose block is so irritating! but don't take any risk with random drops, haan na. do steam inhalation and check with your doc once for safe drops.
ugh, a blocked nose is the worst because i can't even taste my favorite food properly! i use plain saline spray to clear it up quickly so i can enjoy my dinner. avoid the strong chemical ones though!
sweetie, please don't use any over-the-counter medicated drops without checking with your gynac first. my doc told me a plain saline nasal drop is completely safe and gentle for pregnancy congestion.
