All stuffed up- what can I take??
by Mom2be530, Dec 02, 2007 09:28AM
Morning Ladies! Stuipid question I know, but once again I'm in between OB doctors. They Just keep passing me around and I'm getting sick of it. Next apt is December 4. I went to 3 others and I'm finally being pushed onto the high risk ob at the University Hospital, surely they can't pass me on??? (Mainly cause of the gastropariesis) Anyway- I'm all stuffy and I just can't breath. Do any of you know whats safe to take for that?? I was thinkin benadryl??

I used a warm mist humidifier by the bed at night - saline nasal drops and saline nasal washes - all drug free - I also would rub a little Vicks under my nose before I went to bed and use a nasal strip if I was really stuffed up - again, all drug free and all work really well!

Thanks Reno...I have to be on so many medications anyway if I can find one thing to go natural on that just great. I'll invest in a humidifier today, never tried nasal sprays but I'm open for new things.

Aw, it sucks, I was so sick last winter with Cam and lost my voice. I was told Robitussin for a few days to get comfortable or Sudafed for the stuffiness,just so I wasn't miserable. I work in a pharmacy though and my coworkers thought the Sudafed was not the best to take when pregnant. I was told with my first son absolutely no and now they are beginning to allow it more and more. I took nothing and drank lots of fluids and got more rest. I would call up to the new office and explain the situation if you are really miserable. Honestly, I would not take anything without the Dr. okaying it since you are high risk. Hope you feel better soon.
