I'm pregnant and I have flu type symptoms..body aching, eyes hot and sore throat...what do I do?

What can I do since I cannot take any medication?

I take tylenol and feel better but after a couple of hours back to the same symptoms :(

stuffy nose-saline nose drops
sore throat- gargle with warm salt water and suck on hard candies
cough-hot tea with honey(honey is a natural cough suppressant and also natural germ killer)
general body aches and fever - when I was pregnant my doctor told me to take tylanol but of course ask your doctor first.
itchy eyes - cold tea bags or cucumbers slices
lots of bubble baths and maybe some extra pampering from other family memebers also helps make you feel better

There is medication that is safe for pregnant women, but it should only be prescribed by your doctor. I would suggest seeing the doctor as soon as possible. Depending on how far along the pregnancy, is your age, and any other medical problems that you might have, it could affect the baby. Just in case.

I would say take some tylenol for the aching and fever if you have one. If you don't feel better tomorrow call you doctor.There's not really much else you can do while pregnant.Hope you feel better.
