I have had the same problem for a week now and they gave me meds for the infection and i have been using saline spray and it works.
Just to note too.....when I was breastfeeding I took it right out of my diet. Now I'm pregnant again...I still eat dairy, I just limit my intake. And when I feel a pressure headache coming on or stuffiness, then I know I had too much.
I've suffered from sinus problems for quite a few years. It wasn't until I stopped eating so much dairy that my sinus problems cleared up! I quit dairy for my son. He had an intolerance to it from my breast milk. There are so many other ways to get calcium and vitamin d and I went that way. Changed my life!
Hope you feel better...I know your pain.
Also stand in a steamy shower or just the bathroom with the hot shower running. The vapor is good for ur sinus. There is also over the counter saline spray its safe for babies/pregnancy. It helps drain it!
When I get congested I use the vapor rub under my nose and sometimes on my chest and throat, but I'd say a humidifier would be a gud idea right now to clear you up faster, you have your lil one coming soon!
