Brief Answer: CAN USE PAIN RELIEF OINTMENTS SAFELY. Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXXXX Thanks for writing to us with your health concern. Topical application of pain ointments will not harm your baby. Alcohol is best avoided as it wont provide much relief locally. You can apply any OTC ointment / spray / gel for pain relief. All the best . Please feel free to discuss further.
