Hi dear, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Fever and sore throat can be due to viral rhinitis or any other viral infection.
Viral rhinitis do not effect the fetus, while some viral infections like measles do have adverse effects on the fetus.
You should consult a physician for proper examination and treatment accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
