[steph2412]

Hi all im 19+4 weeks pg and have had awful cough and cold for about 5 weeks getting really fed up of having a blocked up nose and wondered if vicks is safe to use? Tia

Anyone?xx

Yes, it's ok to use.

Yes, why ever not?

You should see our gp though if you've had a cough for so long. Is it getting any better?

Thanks i thought it was ok but just wantedo to check. not seen gp viva as had a really bad uti and it made me quite low so think its started from there iykwim

Just be aware that there's a lot of whooping cough going around.

but you have seen the gp about the uti? Because they're dangerous in pregnancy.

Yes had antibiotics for the uti thats cleared up now,ill see gp on monday if coughs no better thanks for the replies x
