Hi everyone, currently 21 wks pregnant and I've had awful cold like symptoms since Saturday. My whole body is aching, I've got a banging headache and I keep burning up then shivering. I went to the doctors yesterday and they told me it was a viral infection that would pass in the next couple of days and to just take 2 paracetamol every 6 hours to manage the fever. She checked my throat and glands and pretty much said there's nothing that can be done and it will pass.
I'm struggling to make it to six hours for the painkillers as my whole body is aching and I'm really concerned for the baby. I can barely eat and haven't got out of bed since yesterday lunchtime, expect to go to the toilet. I've just noticed on my chest, where I feel boiling, there's little clear, fluid filled blebs too. Any ideas what this could be?
Thank you
