How To Treat Nasal Drainage And Congestion During Pregnancy?

I have nasal drainage and congestion at times, the drainage is clear for the most part. I also have a cough, which is deep at times. Can you please tell me what it might be? I was thinking sinus infection or just a cold. I am 14 weeks pregnant, so I am unsure of what I can take, or if the doctor can prescribe me anything that can help.Thank you! Amanda

Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Nasal congestion & flow is mostly due to exposure to cold,allergens(dust,fumes,mould,fabric,fragrances,scents,cosmatics),low resistance &viral or bactrial infection.
You should try to avoid exposure to allergens ,improve ntrition to gain resistance.vapor inhalation helps .
Whenthe secretions are thick.. antibiotics are needed.yYou have already passed first three minths.. so now you can consult your doctor &take pregnancy friendly medicines for treatment.
Consultation of ENT specialist if needed.
Thanks.
