After the steam from your shower opens up your nasal passages, try some saline spray

[MrzMomof5]

Can you take alka-seltzer?

[MrzMomof5]

Thank you ladies for the suggestions! I gotta get rid of this fast! It's just making me real tired and lazy

Pure lemon juice for congestion. Steam. Honey for cough. Lots of green tea and oj. Medicine just puts you to sleep. Cold lasts just as long,.so why take it?

I suggests calling the nurse at the doctor you go to they usually give you answers right away because it's certain types of medicine you can take robitussin was one on the list my doc gave me and nasal saline .if you cant breathe I strongly suggest breathe right nasal strips good luck & feel better !

Also I meant Chloraseptic/CEPACOL

[HannahJohnson]

Not riboflavin!  I meant Robitussin! Dang auto correct!

[HannahJohnson]

Sudafed for congestion
riboflavin for coughing
chloraseptic/Crisco lozenges for sore throat
see your family doctor if: fever over 101, Coughlin up a lot of phlegm, not getting better in 2-3 days

I just wrote this straight from the page my OBGYN office gave me titled "list of approved medication during pregnancy". I hope you feel better soon ):

My Dr said that I could take mucinex. It was on their list of medicines that are safe during pregnancy.

[MrzMomof5]

Thanks! I feel like crap

I'm on the same boat I have been drinking lots of orsnge juice for vitamin c . Also eat lots of soup or warm up drinks like milk ect. For nose rinse your nostrils with warm water not too hot dont burn urself and try breathing in the steam usually opens nostrils. Or put vicks on ur chest n feet. Helps you breathe.  And ur back too! Hope this helps
