Is it safe to use a nasal spray decongestant during pregnancy?
If you're suffering from a cold, allergies, or a pregnancy-related stuffy nose (pregnancy rhinitis), you may be wondering whether an over-the-counter nasal spray is worth a try.
Nasal sprays can provide temporary relief from stuffiness, but you'll want to choose the safest ones for pregnancy. Even then, don't use a nasal spray for more than a few days or you may develop rebound congestion that makes things worse instead of better.
