I'm currently pregnant and I've been feeling under the weather with a fever and a bit of a cold. I've heard that crocin or paracetamol can be taken to help with these symptoms, but I'm not entirely sure. Can you guide me on whether that's safe or if there are specific precautions I should consider?

During pregnancy, Crocin (paracetamol) can generally be taken for fever and cold, as it is considered safe in moderation. However, it's important to consult your doctor before taking any medication to ensure it's appropriate for your specific stage of pregnancy. Always follow the recommended dosage.
