I have my c section booked for next week and can feel a tickle… last time I caught a cold off my toddler when pregnant I was so poorly.

The boots version is safe for over 1 year olds and breastfeeding women (don’t know about pregnancy) so maybe get that one instead

Picked up the boots one as says it’s ok.
hopefully it works just as well as the Vicks one as I do think that’s really good if you use it early enough
