You can take:
Vicks
Delsum cough medicine
Cepacol cough drops (for sore throat)
Cloriseptic spray (for sore throat)
Tylenol
Gargle with warm salt water (for sore throat)
Benadryl for nasal symptoms or can also be taken for sleep.
Claritin for nasal problems
Tylenol pm for pain and sleep, this is tylenol and benadryl mixed together.
All this is on my safe list from my obgyn.
Ask your doctor for a safe list of medicines and if your worried about taking anything always call your doctor's there is always a nurse who can help you.

I was told to avoid nyquil...?
And stick to Tylenol and robitussin.
Take cough drops,  gargle saltwater.
Use a humidifier at night as well :)
