Brief Answer: ..... Detailed Answer: I would advise you to use nasal saline drops. Drink warm water at regular intervals. Do steam inhalation 3 times a day. If symptoms don't improve ,visit a physician as you might require paracetamol and antibiotics (if you have ear infection). As far as possible avoid medications during pregnancy. Hope this helps.
