Depends on symptoms: If you have high fever or persistent cough you might need medication. Otherwise just conservative measures.

My wife is pregnant and the OB recommended I also get the Flu and Tdap vaccines. Is this needed? If I get both at same time, am I likely to experience not feeling well, or just a sore arm? Is not feeling well after rarer than with the covid vaccines?
