Good day, my wife tested positive for pregnancy a week ago with an hcg level of 255, she's about 6 weeks pregnant. she woke up with a sore throat and blocked nose, i am really worried about the baby?

Viral upper respiratory infection is common in the first trimester in this weather. Most cases are self limited and if she needs medication(s) for the unbearable symptoms please contact her OB doctor. Acetaminophen and antihistamines are relatively safe if indicated. You have nothing to worry.
