Advice Needed Please

I am 11 weeks pregnant and have been suffering with a congested head with pains in my ears and temples and a full head for 6 weeks. Paracetamol dont work and i am unable to take anything else. I have been to the doctors today and they cannot give me anything because of the pregnancy. He did say that my nasal passage was very red and inflamed.
Is there anything i can do to sort the prblem out with my nasal passage which in turn will hopefully clear the congestion up.
Thanks

I do have a Nasonex Spray but the doctor said i could use it but only if it was absolutely nessecary ie, the pain causing me to get stressed as that obviously isnt going to do me or the foetus any good.
I left the surgery still unsure as to whether to use the spray.
Do you know if a humidifier would maybe help with the irritation.
Thanks

I think they should consider trying a nasal steroid spray and/or a nasal antihistamine spray.  Some of these can be considered safe during pregnancy.
