I have a cold and I'm pregnant, I was wondering if it's okay to put Vicks on my forehead and neck and if I can still smell it?

It is not recommended to use Vicks during pregnancy. It is best to treat a cold by using nasal hygiene solutions like Hydrasense or Sinus Rinse, as often as needed throughout the day. If you have a sore throat, you can try Tylenol and lozenges like Halls or Fisherman's Friend. It is important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, either cold or hot depending on your preference. If your symptoms persist for more than a week without improvement, it is best to see a doctor as a precaution.
