I am 25 weeks and my throat hurts ear pain, neck pain, headache, congestion. I got a flu shot back oct 4, but I feel awful. Should I see my doctor? Its been 2 days. Its my baby sick too? Help!

only thing to watch out for: you don't want to have a fever of over 101. it poses a risk to your baby as your baby doesn't have a cooling system like we do. if you are running a temp you should def see your doctor and you need to take 2 regular tylenol every 4 hours to bring it down. of course, always ask your dr, but tylenol is considered safe AND it is important to bring down a fever due to risks of overheating. good luck!

Until u can see a dr for pain you can take Tylenol, for ur throat chloriseptic, nose congestion saline nose spray, cough and chest congestion robitussin.  Also get in a warm steamy shower and if you can find them get something called shower soothers.  Its made by vicks.  You put it in the shower and the water melts it and releases vapors. (Cvs carries them for sure) benadryl and sudafed can be taken as well for runny nose. good luck and get well.

Chances are your baby is fine, but I think you should see your Dr. You don't want to get too run down at this point, especially if there is something you can be doing about it. My Dr gave me s list of 'safe' medications, so maybe ask yours? Hope you are feeling better soon!
