Blocked nose at week 16

I am at my week 16 now and I’m getting blocked nose on one side constantly and I am constantly feeling like I cannot breathe, don’t have enough oxygen + it’s affecting my sleep. I’ve seen my gynae and was told I only can eat zyrtec 😢 any mums experience this at week16 where your nose is blocked??? Pls share remedies 😭😭😭

Sadly, this doesn’t only happened at week 16. It happens for other weeks too 🥲 I have blocked nose and fall sick at least once every month. It’s really hard to breath and sleep. I went to consult doctor and got prescribe pregnancy safe medication. Doctor said can only drink more water and rest more as pregnancy causes our immune system to be weaker. It’s normal to recover slower than others. What I do is to drink warm to hot water, walk around so I can breathe better, sleep in a sitting position in order to let my body rest. You can consider getting influenza vaccine which my gynae did recommend.
