Look for the NeilMed sinus rinse kit. My most annoying pregnancy symptom is sinus congestion that leads to multiple infections every pregnancy. This kit has changed my world!!! Most sinus infections  can be handled by your body anyway, so keeping everything cleaned out just helps the process along.

Eat fresh garlic (Works like an antibiotic)  or you can do what I recently did and gargle with raw apple cider vinegar and water dilution (works like an antibiotic as well) and after a month of dealing with a sore throat, stuffy nose and drainage it got rid of the sinus infection.

Hope you feel better ASAP. Best wishes.
