You seem to be suffering from common cold. It usually resolves spontaneously within few days. There are only few medications which can be given safely during pregnancy such as saline nasal drops. You need to take anti cold medicines under doctors supervision. Steam inhalation is also beneficial
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
