Tylenol! It help reduce the fever and get rid of the headache. It's super good for you if you have the flu.

I was told Tylenol cold is fine to use.
Also if you just have a headache and sneezing you could take Benadryl and acetaminophen .

I was sick for 2 weeks with the same issues you are having- the only safe thing to take is tylenol. My doctor says you can also take sudafed but I hate taking that- makes my heart race like crazy!

Also i was talking to my mom and she reminded me of the method my grandma uses. Take tea, honey, lemon juice(from a fresh lemon) and well since we are pregnant cant use the shot of whiskey but thats part of it but works without also.

Anyways heat that all together and SIP!

Just wanted to say Benadryl is perfectly safe to take and will take care of any sneezing and it takes care of runny nose as well.

yes. They are ok in moderation!!

Here:


How can I tell which herbal teas are safe to drink during pregnancy?


Although no U.S. regulations specifically address herbal teas, most of the herbs the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers safe for food use are presumed safe for teas as well. For example, teas made from ginger, lime blossom, peppermint, roasted barley, rose hips, and thyme are probably safe to drink occasionally in small amounts while you're pregnant or nursing. However, drinking excessive amounts of any teas can cause health problems for you and your developing baby.
Which teas are not safe?

Many of the herbs used for teas, when taken in large or medicinal amounts, can potentially stimulate the uterus and induce miscarriage. These include anise, catnip, chamomile, comfrey, ephedra (called ma huang in traditional Chinese medicine), European mistletoe, hibiscus, horehound, Labrador, lemongrass, licorice root, mugwort, pennyroyal, raspberry leaf, rosemary, sage, sassafras, stinging nettle leaf, vetiver, and yarrow.

Although some midwives use raspberry leaf (also known as red raspberry leaf) to aid delivery, its effectiveness hasn't been proven. In any case, it should be used only near term and under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Avoid the rest of the herbs in this list during pregnancy and lactation.
