How to treat severe allergies during pregnancy?
My wife is pregnant, just about to enter her second trimester. However, she's always had bad allergies, and right now they are quite severe because she cannot take her usual allergy medicines. As for the basically pregnancy-safe allergy medicines, they either don't work for her and never have, or will make her too sleepy to do anything. Other things we've tried include an air purifier, a vaporizer, Vicks VapoRub, honey/lemon tea, and more.
She is constantly coughing and sniffing, her throat continually hurts, she's tired all day, her stomach hurts, she's run a fever a couple times, and she's missed work a few days.
Does anyone know anything she can do? We've tried to go to the doctor, but so far have had no success.

I am a mother of 2 and I understand how your wife feels. I had bad allergies when I had my first child but none when I had my second. I did many things differently like learning to eat healthy, sleeping regularly and getting adequate rest throughout the day, but I think the thing that made the biggest difference was having an air purifier in the house. I am not sure what type of air purifier you tried but you need one that is powerful enough to get rid of allergens as well. Look for those with high CADR ratings and high ACH ratings (air changes per hour). I use an Alen Breathesmart personally and I have stuck with it ever since.
