Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you are mostly having viral infection.
Bit better to rule out pregnancy first.
So get done urinary pregnancy test and ultrasound examination of abdomen.
If both these are normal then no need to worry pregnancy.
Viral infection like influenza can cause runny nose, abdominal pain, cough, hot and cold feeling etc.
So drink plenty of fluids orally and keep your self hydrated. Avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid junk food.
Take combination of antihistamine and anti inflammatory drugs.
Do warm water gargles and steam inhalation 4-5 times a day.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
