 [ Symptoms ] can i use vicks vaporub during my pregnancy i have a cough that will not go away i am 38 weeks pregnant [ Disease ] i would ask a few additional questions around the duration and type of the cough and if you have seen a health care provider previously for the cough in some cases it is not a good idea to suppress a cough as it can lead to infection etc we do not have well controlled studies regarding the use of vicks vaporub in pregnancy so i would recommend speaking to your health care provider before using the product
