Is it safe to use nasal spray decongestant while pregnant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The decongestant in nasal sprays for colds or allergies can be used for short duration, usually not more than 3 days. Otherwise you can experience a rebound in nasal congestion. Don't use if you have high blood pressure. Also try saline nasal spray.
