Covid positive
I am 34 weeks pregnant and yesterday I found out that I am covid positive too. Since 3 days( day 3 today) I have recurring fever , which has gone upto 100.2 max till now. My tongue feel extremely hot as if set on fire. Palms and feet also feel as if on fire. Alongside I have cold and mild throat ache and lots of headache especially in between and near the eyebrows which ocassionally goes up to the mid brain section and forebrain ( sometimes simultaneously sometimes separately). Moreover my chest ( probably that would be the apex of the trachea) starts aching when I cough( which isn't often ) and also when I yawn.
The baby movements are normal when I don't have temperature but movement subsides when I am feeling down.
What course of medicine can I take now at this stage? Does mother being covid positive have severe implications on foeatus health? Please help me as to what can I/ should i do now?

Covid pregnancy is not a problem for baby dear as there is placenta taking care of virus between mom and baby. However fever as such due to any cause is not good for baby. Take Tablet Paracetamol 500 three times a day for a week and cold sponging.
