Cold/allergies

I've developed a pretty nasty coldover the last few days but am unclear what I can take for symptom relief. I'm 26 weeks and know that i should not use decongestion anything. What else should I avoid and what can I take?

I recommend a netty pot to rinse your sinuses. I have pretty bad allergies and that had allowed me to peel back 2 meds of my regimen.

My husband uses his for congestion and colds. I don't use straight tap water for this. I boil it it the micro wave and let it cool to decrease the miniscule chance of amebiasis.

Good luck
