If she is that sick, she really needs to see a doctor immediately. The back pain and fever *could* be a sign that something is wrong with the baby.

Good for you. keep her warm, make sure she gets plenty of fluids and lots of rest. if she isn't better by morning insist she goes to a doctor because she may have a lung infection. and that may cause harm to her baby. Do not give her any meds for the fever or pain since tylenol and ibuprophen are dangerous.

Yeah the doctor is advising her not to take any medicine for the cough and cold. So she is not taking any medicine for that. And yes she have pains in her stomach when she coughs. And yes it can harm the baby. Thanks for this fluid advise. She is very weak and feeling very tired.

The doctor has recommended some medicine for her yesterday and after eating that she is feeling much much better now. The doctor has recommended 2 tablets. But after eating the first one she is feeling much better.

fluids, especially warm, sweet ones can soother her throat. Also, orange juice which has a lot of vitamins can help her body fight this virus. I truly hope she doesn't have a lung infection since that can make her weaker, and cuts the oxygen supplyto her baby. She may have to sleep sitting up if her cough gets too harsh
