Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that you are suffering from UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT INFECTION and kknown as Common Cold..
Aa you are 23 week pregnant, you should better avoid taking medication until very necessary..
You can do warm saline gargles, steam inhalation and use a humidifier in your room..
Saline nasal drops can help in reducing congestion..
Drink plenty of warm fluids, water and honey and lemon tea ( without caffeine)..
You should do warm compresses over chest and around nose..
Avoid spicy food and chilled foods..
You can take cough suppressant containing Dextromethorphan..
Take Tylenol for generalized aches and pains..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
