Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion flu is a viral infection which is caused by many types of viruses.As pregnancy is immunodeficiency state flu attacks might be more common.Keep away from allergyns like dust,chill items and cold weather.Repeated usage of antibiotics for infection might not be advisable in.pregnancy.So take symptomatic drugs .If there is sorethroat gargling thrice daily might be helpful.Dont worry.
