Symptoms: You have cough, phlegm, headache, runny nose, malaise, aching muscles, chills, weakness, nasal congestion & sore throat. This could be from various causes which includes influenza and COVID 19. It is especially important to be tested since you are pregnant. Rest, hydrate, quarantine & eat healthfully. Consider use of acetaminophen, saline for nasal irrigation, decongestant or cough syrup.
