It is common for pregnant women to experience colds and fevers during pregnancy, as it is unlikely that the 40-week pregnancy period will go smoothly without issues. Cold and fever are common symptoms during this time and how to handle them mainly depends on the severity of the condition:

Firstly, for a common cold, if there is only mild fever with a temperature below 38.5°C, or symptoms like nasal congestion, nasal pain, or sore throat, it is generally not recommended to take any medication, as colds are self-limiting diseases, primarily recovering through the body's immune system.

Secondly, if the cold symptoms are very severe, exhibiting high fever with a temperature above 38.5°C, or symptoms like thick phlegm, this may indicate the possibility of influenza or signs of pneumonia. In such cases, it is important to conduct a blood test and to use antibiotics for treatment.
