Hello,
As per your symptoms, it appears as though you have contracted some respiratory infection. You need proper examination by an expert, get an antibiotic, take steam inhalations to clear the airways, use vitamin supplements and cough syrup if suggested and preferably go for local application of anti-cold rubs. You should avoid cold drinks, take luke warm water and warm food. Take adequate rest preferably in left lateral position and observe fetal movements. Wish you safe motherhood.
