What are the treatment for cold and flu + a sore throat for a pregnant woman in 9 wks.thanks?

Depends on cause...: A cold caused by cold viruses is usually left alone, as even over-the-counter medications are usually avoided in early pregnancy. The flu caused by influenza viruses is treated by antiviral medication. A sore throat is tested to see if it is strep throat. If strep, antibiotics are needed (if not strep, the sore throat may be due to "cold viruses" or another cause). This all means seeing a doctor.
