Flu in Pregnancy?

Lydia
Have any of you ladies suffered with flu or a bad cold whilst pregnant? I had my flu jab last week and have since come down with the flu in full force... I don't want to waste the doctors time going in but I went to the chemist to ask what they'd advise to take and they said nothing, honey and lemon... But I'm really struggling, has anyone been advised of things they can take?
