I am 8 month pregnant and i am having a flue but it seems like its a dry flue its only on the right side of my face my eye hurts and my teeth and one side of my nose is stuffy what should i do ?
ou need to rest, increase your fluid intake, check if you have any fever (in which case you must contact your doctor promptly), and take the following medications which are considered safe in pregnancy especially that you're already in the third trimester; Advil Cold &Sinus OR Panadol Cold &Flu (1 tablet every 6-8 hours) as needed to relieve any pain and congestion, nasal saline spray (like sterimar or physiomer), and if your nose blockage is very bothersome, you may use nasal decongestant sprays (such as Otrivin) 2 puffs in each nostril every 8 hours ONLY WHEN NEEDED, as this drug is notorious for causing rebound congestion (i.e., once its effect wanes, the nasal blockage will reoccur and you'll get caught in a vicious cycle).
If you still have any concerns or your condition gets worse, kindly contact your doctor.
you can take panadol cold and sinus nasal saline solution plus vaso constrictive drops usually enough

Annual Checkup
It is recommended that all individuals see a Family Doctor for a full medical examination annually. Adults should get their blood pressure checked (US Preventive Task Force), a flu vaccine (CDC) and more each year.
The American Dental Association recommends dental cleanings for adults at least twice annually. Some stains can only be removed by a professional cleaning.
It’s recommended by the American Academy of Ophthalmology that every adult between the ages of 18 and 80 does an eye examination at least once every two years.
It's recommended by the American Cancer Association that every adult between the age of 20 and 80 does an annual skin screening by a licensed dermatologist.
