Thanks for trusting hcm about your health care.
Congratulations on your pregnancy.
I have gone through your history and understand your concerns.
You can use mucinex cough syrup after consulting your treating doctor. (as such no drug is 100% safe during pregnancy).
Use warm water,increase intake of vitamin c in your diet,steam inhalation,drink a lot of water,avoid cold water.
