Cold season!

So, I've finally succumbed to an awful cold at 31 weeks pregnant and feeling disgusting!
Has anyone got any tips for anything they've found to help deal with the symptoms? I feel very limited in what I can do/have in pregnancy.
I've had my flu jab in October so hoping it will blow over but also anything I should be wary of, just in case? I am an absolute failure where colds are concerned, they wipe me out!

Thank you

The flu jab will have no effect whatsoever on a cold.

Drink plenty of fluids and eat loads of ginger, garlic, veg, citrus fruits to try and keep it short.

I have a cold too, but I'm 36+5 and on maternity leave, so at least I can rest up.

Hope you're feeling better soon

Thanks Alderaan
My fault with the wording, I meant I hopefully won't get flu with having the jab.
Hope you feel better soon too

Take paracetamol if you have a headache
Jakemans sweets for sore throat
Keep hydrated and rest as much as you can. X
