I caught a cold about two weeks ago, got mostly sneezing and running nose. I felt fine other than that. So I did not take any medicine. However, since last Mon, I started to run a fever around 100F starting from late afternoon everyday. Again I did not take any medcine and took last Thurs off. I felt fine on that day, so I went back to work Friday. During the week, I went to see my PCP. I got to confirm that it is not swine flu and my doc did not presecribe me any med because I am pregnant.

Last Friday night after I got back home, I felt really bad, sore throat, tired and high fever. I went to Walmart, got Tylenol and Robitussin, taking them only on needed bases. During last 3 days, I did nothing, but laying on bed and rest.
Till this afternoon, I still have a tempreture around 99F; It comes and goes starting from the late afternoon everyday, only that the tempreture is not as high as before and it did not stay very long.

I don't know what to do. I haven't seen an OB yet. My PCP is not giving me any good advice (I cacalled him once after the visit).

I am wondering if anyone is or has been suffering from flu. Is this part of the recovery process? It has been so long, and I feel scared.

Thank you for your advice!
