HI, Thanks for asking. I understand your concern.  You are 15 weeks pregnant. Actually anti-cold medicines (anti-allergic) are not advised during first 3 months of pregnancy (12 weeks). So you can be given a course of cold medicines containing chlorpheniramine(synapse, ) twice a day for a short course of 3-5 days. Along with antibiotic like Alt-rock (if the nasal discharge is thick & yellow along with fever self-care- - Take vapor inhalation twice a day (early morning & night)/ Chat Doctor. . It decreases allergy symptoms Consult your doctor before starting the medication. For suitable dosage in your case.  Thanks.
