it’s okay to take paracetamol when you have a fever during pregnancy. Things you shouldn’t take for a fever in pregnancy include aspirin and ibuprofen. Make sure you stay well hydrated and get a lot of rest. Putting a cool washcloth on your forehead may help you feel better as well. For sore throat, Try gargling with warm salt water. Drinking hot water with lemon and honey might also help.
