Pregnant women with wind-cold type colds typically experience chills, mild fever, headache, or body aches. Some patients may also have symptoms such as coughing up thin, white phlegm, nasal congestion, and clear, watery nasal discharge. Wind-heat type colds usually present with noticeable fever, a sensation of fullness or headache, and some patients may additionally develop red and swollen throat, coughing up yellowish or white sticky phlegm, and thirst.
