Natural treatment if not supportive switch over to safeedicines which can be used in pregnancy. Usually in pregnancy immunity power to fight gainst infection is low. Sooner is better than late treatment. General cough and cold settles within a week but in pregnancy itmay also take another to recover. So better try to avoid oil in head, warm water and food intake etc
