Brief Answer:
You can take cetrizine.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
Running nose and headache are MOSTLY related to Seasonal Changes. Viral infection and allergen particle are also responsible for the same.
I suggest to keep observing the pattern of other clinical symptoms like fever, sore throat, earache, joint pain etc. In that case, you must visit to your doctor for clinical examination and complete prescription. Short course of antibiotic may be required for complete treatment.
You can take cetrizine for the anti allergic effect. It is safe during pregnancy.
Some basic home remedies can improve your condition and prevent recurrence:
a) Drink plenty of water or fruit juice to stay hydrated and keep throat moist.
b) Inhale steam or use saline nasal spray to ease nasal congestion and drippy nose.
c) Stay away from household dust, pollens, powders, droplets, smoke, allergen substances etc.
d) Take one teaspoon honey & tulsi juice in the morning or hot drink like milk at bed time is quite helpful.
e) Take hot shower bath, sleep with an extra pillow under head and vitamin-C supplements are very much essential.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
