Definatly check with the Dr first but some orange juice and fruits with vitamin C can boost your immune system. Ice pops can help your throat, maybe even a little hot tea. An air vaporizor can help with being stuffy. And good old fashion chicken soup.

It's really hard when you are sick, have other children that needs tending and your pregnant too. Rest as much as possible, I know it's hard to say and do but it will help, lots a warm fluids too. There's antibiotics that you can take during pregnancy, I've been on many, but not many over the counter meds you can not take. If it gets worst I'd consult your doc again, as sometimes one infection leads to another and the only way to get relief is more meds. :(   Something that help with my sinus infections that I had during pregnancy was a "SinusRinse". Gross doing it but it helps and makes breathing and sleeping easier. Get better soon. :)
