flu like symptoms

I think I'm getting a cold or the flu, I'm scared. I'm a FTM, can any of that hurt the baby? I know Tylenol is the only thing I can take, but ant other advise or help??

I have a pretty bad cough. I am 8 weeks. I am going to the ER after work to make sure everything is okay.

If its just a cold you and your baby should be fine but if its the flu is more serious because the medicine they give for the flu is harmful for the baby and since is the flu season you should go get the shot as soon as you can..

I have a cold at the moment more of a cough I just gargle with warm salt water and drink warm lemon with honey in it. These can help to sooth the throat. Also sleeping with an extra pillow helps... not sure why. I would eat plenty, keep warm and don't over do things
