For her fever and sore throat, acetaminophen is generally considered the safest option during pregnancy. Warm salt water gargles and honey can also gently soothe her throat. For her cold, using saline nasal sprays or a cool-mist humidifier may offer comfort, as Vicks VapoRub isn't providing relief. Please ensure she avoids medications like ibuprofen. Since she has a fever, it is very important to contact her obstetrician or healthcare provider before she starts any new medication to ensure both she and the baby stay safe and healthy.
