Nicky, I had a couple of shocking colds when I was pg with Charlie (change in climate: I moved from the tropical NT to an Adelaide winter: it knocked me for six!) and the only thing that I found to work was loads of fluids (Ribena was my tipple of choice), as much rest as I could get, and paracetamol.
My OB also reckommended Octravin for congestion.....it can be taken on your Drs advice whilst pg. It is a nasal spray that works brilliantly.
The other throat/cough mixture that is fine to take when pg is Dorotuss: check with your Dr and with the Pharmacist as there are a few different ones, but one of their mixtures is fine in pregnancy.
HTH.....
