Sore throat in pregnancy is annoying. The safest bet is always home remedies. Warm salt water gargles work wonders. Honey and lemon in warm water also helps. Avoid any strong lozenges or medicines unless your gynecologist explicitly says it's okay. Don't take chances.
For pregnant women, taking anything, even for a sore throat, needs careful consideration. Please do not trust random advice online. The safest thing to do is call your gynecologist. They will tell you exactly what is safe for you and the baby. It's better to be overly cautious than to regret it later.
Sore throats are the worst when pregnant. Try warm salt water gargles and rest. Hope you feel better soon.
I have thyroid issues, so I'm very careful about everything during pregnancy. For a sore throat, my doctor said warm salt water gargles and honey-lemon tea are safe. But if it persists or you get a fever, definitely go for a check-up. Don't take any medicine without asking your gynae, especially if you have other conditions.

For a sore throat in pregnancy, stick to basics. Warm salt water gargles, honey mixed with ginger juice, and lots of warm fluids are your best friends. Avoid medicated lozenges or sprays unless your OB-GYN specifically approves them. Paracetamol is generally considered safe for pain/fever, but again, get a green light first.
