How to treat sore throat during pregnancy?

I literally just got over a terrible sore throat last week in my second trimester! My gynecologist strictly told me no over-the-counter cough syrups or random lozenges. I just stuck to warm salt water gargles and warm water with a little honey, which helped a lot, but do consult your doctor before taking anything.

It is completely natural to feel super anxious about every single symptom when you are pregnant, I was the exact same way. Even for a simple sore throat, I used to worry if it would affect my baby. Just call your gynaecologist's team for a quick chat, they will guide you safely and ease your mind.

I am in my first trimester and my throat has started hurting since yesterday morning. Is it safe to drink ginger tea during this time, or should I completely avoid herbs? I am a bit scared to try anything without checking with other moms first.

Pregnancy mein directly koi bhi dawa khana safe nahi hota, ho na? Best is to do warm saline gargles thrice a day, it gives so much relief to the throat. Aur safe side rehne ke liye gynaecologist ko ek baar phone karke pooch lo, tension nahi rahega bilkul.
