"I would like to know if I can safely take decongestants for the baby."

It is generally recommended to use non-pharmacological measures to treat congestion, runny nose, sinus pressure, and cough during pregnancy. Nasal hygiene with saline solutions like Hydrasense or Sinus Rinse can be very effective. Drinking plenty of fluids and using nasal sprays containing decongestants for a short period of time may be considered, but it is best to consult with a pharmacist to determine the safest option. Remember to prioritize non-pharmacological options during pregnancy.
