Q: hello can i use zicam nose swabs and use the cvs nasal spray decongestant or i can't use them together? i'm pregnant?

: I wouldn't put anything up your nose except the nasal spray. The inner lining tissues have very sensitive capillary beds that can be injured and scarred with swabs. Pregnant or not, I wouldn't advise using them.
