If nasal congestion and runny nose in pregnant women are caused by a common cold, saline nasal irrigation or inhaling steam from hot water may help relieve nasal congestion. Additionally, drinking plenty of fluids and getting adequate rest can improve these symptoms. If the nasal congestion and runny nose result from allergic rhinitis, it is essential to avoid known allergens; wearing a mask may be necessary for prevention.
