Horrible Cold

Rhead
I'm 5w 6d and have had the worst cold for two weeks now, basically ever since I found out I was pregnant. I can't seem to shake the cough and now my ears feel plugged from congestion. Went to my regular family doctor and they said no pneumonia or bronchitis and no meds I can really take. Is anyone else experiencing this and what do you do to soothe the pains?
