Hello mommy! I just got covid last night and went to see a doctor today. Currently having fever, headache, sore throat and flu. For sore throat, I’m being prescribed Viocil Lozenges — 1 lozenges 3 times a day. It’s a purple lozenges. I have checked with my gynae this morning — it is better to see a GP doctor when you have covid and get pregnancy safe medication, eat vitamin C to build back your immune system and observe baby movement (only for those who can already feel baby movements — usually week 17-22 and above). It is not advisable not to eat any medicine. Please be extra caution because of pregnancy. Other than that, drink more water and sleep more to recover.
