I'm 22 weeks pregnant and for the past two days, I've been dealing with a bad cold, nasal congestion, and coughing. Is it okay if I try steam inhalation with neem leaves?

Steam inhalation with neem leaves is not recommended during pregnancy as it may not be safe for the baby. You can try using a humidifier in your room to help with nasal congestion. You can also try saline nasal drops to help with nasal congestion. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
