What can i take for a cold during pregnancy?

Question

Caught a bad cold and my nose is fully blocked, feeling miserable. Im 16 weeks so scared to take any random medicine. What do you all do for cold, any safe gharelu thing?

When I had a bad cold post my C-section, coughing was so painful for my stitches. I stuck to warm water, saline nasal drops, and lots of ginger tea. Avoid taking any OTC tablets without asking your doctor.

Haan na, pregnancy mein cold hona toh bada annoying hai because we can't take random medicines. Steam inhalation lo aur garam haldi doodh piyo, thoda relief milega ho na.

Rani Menon · Answer

Just do hot water steam twice a day and do salt water gargles. It is the safest way to clear your throat during pregnancy. Take care.

Haan, bilkul ghabrao mat, sardi-khansi toh natural hai. Garam paani ki bhaap lo aur tulsi-adrak ki chai piyo, usse bahut aaram milega. Par bina doctor se pooche koi dawai mat khana, thik hai na?

I totally understand how miserable it feels to have a blocked nose when you are already struggling to sleep. Try putting some eucalyptus oil on your pillow and drink warm water. Sending you lots of love and warmth.
