I think I could be coming down with the cold or flu =(

Hello everyone!

So I've got a couple of concerns. I've been feeling more crappy than normal recently (headaches, body aches, sore throat) and I'm not sure what to do about it. I know it's not good to get the flu shot while already sick, but I was just wondering other opinions about getting the flu shot while pregnant. What are the pros and cons? I'm 9 weeks pregnant. 

Another thing I was curious about. What kind of medicine can I take while being sick if any? I'm trying not to take any medicine at all but in case of emergency I was just wondering what I can and can't take. Can I take Chloraseptic Throat Spray? As long as I spit it out after? Because my throat hurts something fierce. 

 One last thing. I'd really like to go the herbal way instead of taking any meds. Are there any hot/cold teas I can drink to help me feel better? Everything that I've looked up online say that teas are bad. I'm kind of in a sickly rut. =/

Thanks so much for your help!
