**1. since nose & ear are connected through Eustachian tube, thus blockage of nose results in blockade of ear, which will open only when pressure is applied from nose, thus your symptom is physiological response of the body.2. Since pregnancy is an issue, thus make sure that you are under constant medical supervision [doctor/mid wife], and to alleviate the symptoms following home remedies with negligible side effects can be tried: . Take: Old brown rice, soup of moong dal, black grapes, cow’s or goat milk, garlic, lukewarm water to drink, black pepper, dried ginger, honey, mulethi, launga. Avoid: Potato,green leafy vegetables, cold water/food, heavy, slimy and acidic food, curd, mustard oil, excess physical exertion, sunlight-dust areas, exposure to strong winds, day sleeping, smoking3.  take vegetables in form of soup will help thin mucus and promote nasal drainage, helping the sinuses restore to their normal state Do not consume any beverages containing caffeine because these beverages can lead to dehydration and increased nasal congestion.ii. In Ayurveda we hold that nose is the gateway to head, thus start practicing NASYA [errhine therapy], after consulting/guidance of an Ayurveda physician [with shadbindu tail]4. Take Raw ginger+ raw turmeric: [2 gm each] and fry in cow’s ghee [6 gm] and thereafter add 6 gm jaggery and take at bed time [during night]
