I suggest natural remedies while pregnant, honey, cinnamon, lemon and ginger tea helps to perk you up, and great for colds, paracetamol for headaches and temperatures.

I'm 7 months one week pregnant . I have a ear infection caused by viral infection had sore throat N congestion which I now would trade for this awful ear infection  which they put me on amoxicillin and claritin and told Me take tylenol for .. pink eye developed 2-3 days after started  antibiotics which my doctor found strange I'm hoping it will clear fast BC didn't give me anything in addition for it and also got yeast infection from the antibiotics!!!!  Which is by far the most miserable of everything and have to use 7 day treatment monistat.  I have been taking Meds 5 days now and I felt at first better than worse than better like every other day.  If not better by Tuesday and hearing not fully intact will switch antibiotic Ughh so frustrated BC I am so pregnant and so miserable I mean I could have handled congestion N such but ear, eye,  viral, N yeast infection!  My God!  I'm suffering over here!  Hope U feel better!  I would ask doctor but saline nasal sprays are safe antihistamines like Claritin N benedryl but you could need an antibiotic like me
