Hope u feel better. Paracetamol is fine for fever for a pregnant lady. For sore throat, runny nose, I prefer to drink tea like peppermint, honey lemon drink, echinacea tea. My obgyn consultant did prescribe me standby medications: for bad runny nose: use piriton and for cough and phlegm, guaifenesin syrup. I’d recommend taking to ur gynaecologist for recommended medications and maybe ask for a standby prescription ?
