Brief Answer:
Don't use Decongestant nose drop.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.

I have read your query, reviewed your wife medications and understand your concern.

If I were your treating Doctor for this case, I would advice you
Steam Inhalation twice daily by steam vaporisor &
Saline nasal spray thrice daily like Solspre 3 puff each nostril 4 times daily .

Continue Iron tablet, Susten & Celin.

Don't use Decongestant nose drop, they are habit forming & further increase nose block after initial relief.

Cold is common in pregnancy due hormonal imbalance. It will subsides as pregnancy progress .

Hope this information helpful to you. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
Regards.
