Who gets a cold in Hawaii?

Apparently me. That's right. DH and I are on our honeymoon in beautiful Hawaii and not only am I trying to handle M/S but deal with a stuffy nose is driving me nuts!
Any ideas on how to solve this? I've gotten those breathe right strips and some vicks vapour rub, but my head is pounding with all of the pressure! I can't taste anything I eat. Not that I am enjoying what I eat anyway as I feel like throwing it up 5 minutes after eating!
Sorry about my whining, but DH is tired of it and I know you ladies would understand what I'm going through!

Re: Who gets a cold in Hawaii?
I had an awful cold when I went to Jamaica, so I know how you feel!
When I was preg with DD, I used AYR saline to clear my nasal passages (it is all natural and has no medication) and I found a ton of relief in sleeping with a humidifier - you can prob buy a cheapie at a CVS or something while on vaca and toss it and buy a better one when you get home. Also, I swore by Vicks vaporub - I practically bathed in it before bed every night!
For a cough, I took 2 tablespoons of a honey, lemon, olive oil mixture (gross but it worked really well). Feel better!!
Actually it might not go away your entire pregnancy. Having a runny nose is a symptom. I'm right there with you and it sucks! Before I knew I was preggers my nose starting running and at night it would drain down the back of my throat (tmi?) and I'd sound like 60 year old man who just took a shot of whiskey and smoked a cigar. I asked my dr about it and he said many women have runny noses their entire pregnancy because of those awesome hormones that bring about every other disgusting and inconveniencing symptom.
