Flu/cold in first trimester

[K2012]

Hi I’m 7 weeks pregnant and have come down with a flu/cold. I feel terrible. Got runny nose, headache, body is aching, feeling cold and sweating so wanted some advice.

What can I take other than paracetamol?

Has anyone been ill in first trimester and baby was fine?

Thank you in advance.

I was ill with a cold at 6/7 weeks, about 11 weeks and then again at around 36/37 weeks (older child bringing home lots of germs from school as never normally ill). Baby is now 13 days old and is absolutely fine.

I took paracetamol, used Vicks vapor rub, strepsils and honey for my throat x

Thank you for your reply xx
