My Ob allowed me to take some herbal suppliments but I know others don't allow them. For me, I have taken zinc & echinacea to fight my cold symptoms. If those things typically work for you, call your Ob and see if they are okay.

ETA: You could also do Vicks rub on your chest and the bottom of your feet (yes, I said feet) before you go to sleep. People on Parenting are always recommending this for babies and I do it with DD. It really helps with her congestion & cough; I see improvements overnight.
