Suggest Treatment For Runny Nose And Cough During Pregnancy

I m 15 weeks pregnant, I don t know if that has anything to do with it. But I started feeling really weak last night and I have a runny nose and phlem coming up when i cough. Is there anything I can do to make myself feel better? I already slept all day and took some sinus day medication.

HI,
Thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
You seem to have allergic cold. You have already taken sinus medication. Few self care tips for you here-
- Try to point out the cause for allergy & avoid it in future ( exposure to cold/ certain edibles/ dust or pollen grains/ cosmetics/clothes )
- Take nasal vapor inhalation( with vicks/ eucalyptus drop)
- HOt saline gargles would help .
- avoid ice cold/ spicy/ sour / allergy causing eatables
- Cold medicines anti allergic decongestants over the counter twice a day after food.. you can take for 3 days.
* IN case there is no relief/ phelgum starts to be yellow/ there is fever .. consult your doctor for antibiotics.
Thanks.
