[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

[steph2412]

Anyone?xx

[VivaLeBeaver]

Yes, it's ok to use.

[NickNacks]

Yes, why ever not?

[VivaLeBeaver]

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

[steph2412]

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

[VivaLeBeaver]

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

[MrsHoarder]

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