I am 26 weeks pregnant. Two weeks ago I had a runny nose that seemed to get better. However, last week I noted that I had a lot of phlegm and bloody mucus. Now both my nostrils are blocked and I am somewhat struggling to breath properly.

Cant breath through my right nostril (a lot of the time) a nasil rinse will open it however, it can cause my ear burning and pain. I do have frequent left nasal nose bleeds, any ideas of cause? My M.D. says everything looks okay. Thank you?
