A member asked:

I'm confused...i have symptoms of both the flu and being pregnant, can you help determine which one it could be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Take pregnancy test: But pregnancy does not cause fever, sore throat, or cough, or body aches. So if you have all of those and a positive pregnancy test then you could have both. Both conditions can happen in the same person.
