Viral infection - help

Hi MN, I'm 13w pregnant and feels like I have a viral infection. Are there any home remedies that I could try or do I need to go to a doctor.
I'm worried, as at 10 weeks I picked up a bacterial infection and had to go on antibiotics.

What kind of infection? As in a cold? Cough? Ears? Throat? General under the weather?

You are fairly limited in pregnancy but paracetamol is fine if you generally hurt or feel rubbish. Honey & lemon for a throat/cough.. head over a bowl of hot water to steam your sinuses.. if you aren’t feeling too sick, stock up all the fruit & veg, smoothies .. and eat lots of chocolate to cheer you up!

If it’s an infection elsewhere, such as urine, ears, chest.. def get checked out & advice from a doctor!

Thank you so much. It's mostly my throat and a bit of body aches. But I will try your suggestions.
