Any natural remedies for REALLY bad allergies (sneezing/stuffy nose/etc) and/or a sore throat when pregnant? I'm in the first trimester and really prefer not to take any medication if I can help it.
Thanks in advance!

For the stuffy nose/sneezing, I usually use a saline wash (similar to a neti pot).
For the sore throat, I drank a ton of tea with honey and lemon while I was pregnant.

I had to get a humidifier in the first trimester. I also live off of Simply Saline (in the pressurized container. For bad congestion I put my head over a steaming pot of water. Mrs. Bee also wrote a cold remedy post that mentioned honey and apple cider vinegar. It was nasty as heck but it definitely helped.

@mrs.shinerbock: @mrs. 64: Thanks, ladies! Will definitely have to try some of these things.

@mfa_lady: Neti pot was all I used and it really helped!

@lawbee11: Did it this afternoon--it definitely helped! I think I'll do it before bed tonight and before work tomorrow to try and get a head start on the stuffiness.
