Sudafed!! You can take that. And like someone else mentioned you can't take antibiotics for a viral infection. It won't do anything.  But get some sudafed and Tylenol.

For a cold and flu antibiotics should never be given, namely cause they're viral and those don't work on them and can cause them to mutate. Your doctor however CAN tell you what medicines you can take that are safe.

You can ask your doctor to prescribe you amoxacillin. I got sick when I was 25 weeks just like that. I took it for 1 week and I was completely fine after .hope you get better !
