Should I take the medicine or not?

I've been sick since Friday, called off work today. Saturday went to a walk in clinic and they said I have an upper respiratory infection but prescribed me nothing. Went to my allergist today and she gave me an antibiotic (category b, safe during  pregnancy) and told me to take it in a few days if it doesn't get better. I'm not sure if I should just take it now or wait. I'm afraid I'll get worse and I already feel horrible and have been in bed since Friday after work. She wanted to give me steroids cause it's so bad but she can't due to pregnancy (or it would be last resort). What do y'all think. Should I just take the meds now or wait?

I would not take a thing.  I would tough it out.  Unless it gets severe, then that's a different story. Also, consult your OB before taking anything.

It's really up to you about whether or not you want to take it. I had a cold/cough that was really bad for almost 3 weeks and I could have taken something but I decided not to-I decided I'd suffer instead of taking something because even though my doctor said it was ok, she said she'd rather I didn't take anything if I could wait it out
