Answer
If you are pregnant and have, what appears to be a flu or cold, the important thing to do is prevent high fever. If your temperature is over 101 degrees F., you must try to lower it with Tylenol every 4 hours. If the fever remains elevated, take a cool bath to bring it down. High temperatures during pregnancy can lead to preterm labor. Other than that, drink plenty of fluid (hot or cold) and take Robitussin for cough and Sudafed for stuffy nose. If it persists, see your doctor.
