I have blocked nose and mild cold from yesterday, no high fever thankfully. I am scared to take any medicine without asking gynac. What did you all do for cold while pregnant?
Beta steam inhalation, warm water, haldi milk and turmeric in warm water really soothe a cold. Rest well. Just dont take any cold tablet on your own, ask doc for that.
Rest, fluids, warm soups and steam usually handle a normal cold. Salt water gargle for throat. Dont touch any cough syrup or medicine without your gynac saying so, lot of them arent pregnancy safe.
Honey in warm water for throat, steam twice a day and extra sleep helped me a lot. My app reminded me to stay hydrated too. If fever shows up, straight to the doctor though.
Home care is fine for a mild cold, but if you get high fever, body pain or it drags on, call your doctor. Fever especially shouldnt be ignored in pregnancy.
Haan cold is so annoying na in pregnancy. Garam paani, adrak wali chai (thoda), steam aur rest. Bas koi bhi dawai khud se mat lena, doc se poochna pls.
