Some "natural" things that can make a slight help with head cold symptoms are drinking camomile tea, eating chicken soup (home made is better for you than canned - hands down) and using a vaporiser to help keep things from drying out. Also using a saline nasal spray is helpful for sinus congestion. It's just salt water and completely safe for mother and baby. None of these things give the kind of relief that a dose of medicine sometimes does but together they should give you some relief and you can know that they are safe. Glad that you found some things to help and will be seeing a Dr soon to give you more advice. There are a number of medications that the Dr told me were safe but I won't assume to mention those here. You might be able to talk to a "triage nurse" who can give you the advice you seek until you get to the Dr. There is no charge for that. Try calling your Dr's office and ask for the Triage nurse. They actually have authority to prescribe some medications even. Good Luck.
