You probably shouldn't use the nighttime medication. They have a drug in it to make you sleep that probably isn't safe to.take during pregnancy. I had 2 sinus infections during this pregnancy and my doctor urged me to use only Tylenol cold in combination with plenty of rest and fluids and. If your symptoms persist for more then a week they'll probably prescribe you some amoxicillin but they'll want you to try the OTC meds before the antibiotics.

Saline Nasal sprays help with the stuffy nose.  It is safe to use and my doctor let me take Tylenol Cold. I Also had a lot of rest and drank Lots of fluids. I was around 12-14 weeks. And it took a little while. I think I was sick for 6 days.  And oh man was it horrible.  Good luck and I hope you feel better very soon!
