Pills never work for me so I used tylenol cold liquid. Always take medication with food. I had a nasty cold and it went away in a matter of about four days. Lots of water,rest and a crap ton of tissues : )

Try taking normal strenght tylenol as best u can. I know it may feel useless but after a couple of hours it brings fever down and helps with ear ache. Hopefully u can keep trying to take them and itll go down. Fisherman friends are okay to take just read the instruction. I think its one every six hours. Drink lemon-honey-ginger tea. You can have a tsp of honey whenever u feel the need to. Helps sooth the throat a little. Lots and lots of water as you dont want to dehydrate and as much rest as possible. If u can stay in bed until u feel better its even better!

I had a cold and sinus infection at 25weeks too and added up in the emergency under observation and isolated. Isolation *****! They dont want you to catch anything else but its really lonely lol
