usually pregnant women are at higher risks to develop a flu during their pregnancy more than other people ,beside they can easily catch a flu virus infection ,due to immune system change during pregancy .
They include getting plenty of rest, drinking a lot of fluids, and gargling with warm salt-water for a sore throat or cough.Saline nasal drops and spray are perfectly safe for loosening nasal mucus and soothing inflamed nasal tissue. Using warm, humid air is a natural way to help loosen congestion as well. Try a facial steamer, a hot-mist vaporizer, or even a hot shower. Chicken soup can also help relieve inflammation and soothe congestion.
Adding some honey or lemon to a warm cup of decaffeinated tea can help relieve a sore throat, and elevating your head may help you to get some rest. Additionally, hot and cold packs can help alleviate sinus pain.
since you exceed the first 12 weeks of pregnancy and you are in your 28 week then you can ask your doctor if she can add for you some medical treatments if your symptoms are severe and are not going through these measures ,the doctor can prescribe Tylenol for a headache, or Robitussin for a cough or another herbal product for cough such as prospan
Try to protect your self while pregnant from any infected person ,Wash your hands often, get enough sleep, eat a healthy diet, exercise regularly, and minimize stress to prevent illness.
