Makan Panadol

i had flu last week, went to the doctor and he gave me paracetamol, cough syrup and flu meds. i told him i was pregnant and he said it is ok. i however did not take they meds despite my research reading and asking if it is ok (which some people said is ok) i rid the flu by drinking 2-3 litres in two days and the flu went off ! im just skeptical about meds.
