6 weeks with a bad cold, what to take?

I'm 6 weeks pregnant and I have a bad cold.  Just wondering what is safe to take or should I even take anything? ?

I had a bad cold at 6 weeks.  I just did steam therapy and Vicks Vapo Rub.  I was afraid to take any pills. Cold was gone in a week, so I had one really crappy week.

I'm 6 weeks too and I also have a horrendous cold. My Dr recommended original Sudafed, the every 4 hours kind. It's inconvenient, but easier to control dosages so I only take the minimum amount of medicine to control my symptoms.
