A member asked:
Is it safe to use hydrogen peroxide 3% on a qtip in nose while pregnant? i have always done this occasionally and just recently became really worried about whether it was bad for baby.. i read conflicting things?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Because of the small volume of hydrogen peroxide contained on a Qtip, there should be no danger to the baby. Avoid nasal washes with hydrogen peroxide or even gargles with hydrogen peroxide.
