Only some things: I would avoid drugs due to safety concerns but it is safe to take chicken soup (ideally home-made with an organic chicken) and raw honey with lemon. Research suggests zinc lozenges can help & this is safe in pregnancy. Finally, homeopathy is very safe in pregnancy and if you find the correct remedy it really helps- see http://homeopathyplus.com.au/the-common-cold-ways-to-send-it-packing/
