HELP! Pregnancy Rhinitis
I am suffering probably the worst case of pregnancy rhinitis. I mean I NEVER have congestion when I’m not pregnant and suddenly it feels like I’m allergic to everything. Today it has arrived at peak-shittyness and I’m so stuffed up- no amount of allergy medicine, saline nasal spray, or otherwise has helped. my doctor even gave me permission to use nasal spray with medicine. I am so congested I can’t even hear and the pressure in my head is excruciating. (yes, blood pressure and all other tests are normal and no I do
not have preeclampsia or even seasonal allergies usually. Please help me!! what else can I do? I’m currently trying to let steam into my face/ nose but it’s not helping. I’m miserable. I can’t even sleep like this. I can’t breathe through my mouth when I sleep.

@Ki'Andra - Unfortunately there isn’t much research out there for individual drugs and their subsidiary on pregnant woman. So best to be cautious atleast that’s my personal recommendation.

@Ki'Andra any mucinex formula is considered category C. I would recommend reaching out to a pharmacist to learn more. Generally, best to consult medications with an experienced pharmacist over a doctor. https://www.drugs.com/pregnancy/guaifenesin.html

@Justina mucinex nasal spray is know to cause miscarriages or regular mucinex liquid or pills? I haven't heard or read anything about the nasal spray

@Jessica Harvey - hope and pray you feel better soon!
I wish I had advice but I just suffered horribly through my pregnancy. Nothing I tried help and I woke up choking almost every night. Elevation helped a little. If it makes you feel any better it went away pretty quickly after I gave birth. Hang in there mama. I know it's absolutely miserable.
