Bad cold and blocked nose since 2 days, raat ko sona mushkil ho raha. I usually apply vicks on chest but ab dar lag raha that smell or something might harm baby. Is it fine to use yaar?
I used it slightly on my forehead when I had a cold last week, but I was so scared. Did anyone else also worry about using basic things like Vicks during their pregnancy?
My hospital doctor said external Vicks is absolutely fine for congestion. But if you have a fever or severe cough, please call the hospital desk instead of self-treating.
I used a tiny bit of Vicks for my headache and it was okay. Since my PCOS made my pregnancy high-risk, I always avoided putting it in steam, but simple rubbing on the temples is safe.
Oh, I live on Vicks these days with my constant nose block! Applying a little on your chest or neck is totally fine, just don't eat it like candy, haha.
External application is mostly fine, but pregnancy is very sensitive. It is always better to just ask your gynac before applying anything with strong camphor or menthol.
Yes dear, applying a little Vicks rub on your forehead or chest is safe for cold. Just don't put it in boiling water for taking strong steam, as that can be too harsh.
