My nose is totally blocked since 2 days and i usually rub vicks before sleeping. Now im second guessing if i should use it. 2nd trimester here, pls share if u used it.
Yes, applying Vicks is fine for normal cold. But if you have thyroid or other issues, make sure you mention any severe cold or cough to your doctor during your regular follow-ups. They can guide you better on safe cough drops or steam.
It is safe to apply externally, but oh god, the strong smell of Vicks used to trigger my nausea so badly! If you also have morning sickness, maybe try warm saline water gargles instead or use very little of it.
Yes, Vicks Vaporub is safe to use externally for minor cold symptoms. Just apply a thin layer on your throat or back. Avoid putting it directly inside your nostrils or taking heavy steam with it unless doctor advised.
Sending you so much love. Yes, applying a little Vicks on your chest or forehead for congestion is generally safe, but try to use it sparingly. Since every pregnancy is precious and unique, especially if you had a long journey, you can double check with your doctor just for peace of mind.
Vicks is fine to use gently on your forehead, child. But for a cold, also try drinking warm water with a little honey and ginger juice. It is a very safe ghar ka nuskha that helps clear the throat naturally.
I totally panicked when I used Vicks in my first trimester and then googled it, but honestly it is completely fine! My doctor reassured me that normal external application won't harm the baby at all. Don't worry, you are good.
Haan, external application is absolutely fine, koi tension nahi hai. Just don't put it near your nose if the smell is too strong for you. Apne pairon ke neeche lagakar socks pehan lo, it really helps with cold, na?
Beta, Vicks is fine to put on your neck and forehead. When I was at my mum's place, she used to give me warm water with tulsi and ginger for my cold, which was so soothing. Try to rest as much as you can.
I completely understand why you are anxious, even the smallest thing makes us worry during pregnancy. Using a little Vicks on your chest is quite safe and normal. Take deep breaths, you are doing a great job caring for your little one.
I was actually reading about this recently while planning! From what I know, normal Vicks rub is safe but we should avoid inhaling it with hot steam too much. It's always so confusing what is safe and what's not na!
