Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI) is more in your case because you are having sore throat, itchy cough, stuffed nose etc.
And viral infection can cause generalized bodyache, fatigue etc.
So this kind of soreness is common in your illness.
Follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Drink plenty of fluids orally and keep your self hydrated.
2. Avoid oily and spicy food.
3. Do steam inhalation and warm water gargles 5-6 times a day.
4. Take levocetrizine tablet for cough, stuffed nose.
5. Take anti inflammatory drug like paracetamol for faster relief.
Don't worry, these drugs will notify affect your baby.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks
