 Hi Emmalou,
It sounds as if you have a raging cold going on. There are a few things you can do to help. The safest is to try using a saline nasal spray to help wash out your nose.
Decongestants with pseudoephedrine are generally considered safe during pregnancy. Benadryl (diphenhydramine) is also safe.
Use caution when buying over-the-counter cold medicines because they generally have two, three or more medicines in them.
You can also ask the pharmacist at your local medication store to help find a medicine that is safe for you.
Best wishes. I hope you feel better soon.
