Can I take either of these if I am pregnant? I don't know for sure yet if I am and I stopped all my allergy meds and ended up getting very sick on top of it. My sinuses running and itching and stuffing my head kept me up most of the night last night. I can not take it any more. I want to punch myself in the nose and it is running so much that it is RAW.

Anyone know?

" I am not sure about the meds-but I do recommend the neti pot. It totally clears out sinuses. You fill it with salt water and cleanse your nose- you can get it at health food stores. It's the best...

" Thanks kimbochi! I have the neti pot and swear by it. But, it is just not cutting it right now. Between being sick and stopping all my allergy meds. But I would suggest it to anyone! It does help keep infections away and dries stuff up most the time. "
