This very well may be a sinus infection or even a problem with one of your teeth. The correct treatment would be antibiotics if you have a sinus infection or a dental problem, and many antibiotics (especially those that are penicillin-based), can be used safely in pregnancy. I suggest you try to see a doctor to look in your ear and mouth and assess your condition, if your OB is not comfortable doing this, you should see a primary care physician and/or a dentist, and if they recommend antibiotics, your OB can tell you which are safe to use during pregnancy. Unfortunately being pregnant doesn't keep you from getting sick just like anyone else. You should get treatment because you will really feel lousy if you are sick during labor! Good luck and feel better!
