Cold/sore throat when pregnant

Noooooo!

what have you been taking?
You can also buy olive leaf extract and take that. Might help you get better sooner.

Or stodal cough syrup - i read it's actually for coughs and colds, including tonsillitis and other things.

I am in the same boat (minus the pregnancy!

Spoonful of Peanut butter might help with the pain. It worked for me for a short while...

Eating pineapple is supposed to help...?

Hope you feel better soon!

Should have also added you can take ferrum phos tissue salts ever hour (can even start every 15 min for an hour then every hour after that). Helps for the inflammation.

I also saw this link on my fb page the other day about how to deal with sore throats. Gives this one remedy which sounds quite nice:

Garlic Lemonade: One of my classic and reliable remedies — palatable to most and appropriate for all ages and even during pregnancy and breastfeeding. To prepare: Finely mince 2 cloves of fresh garlic (do not put them in a press)and place them in a 1-quart mason jar. Fill the jar with boiling water and cover for 30 minutes. Strain out the garlic, and to the liquid add the juice of 1 whole lemon. Sweeten to taste with honey. Give warm, can be taken freely.

Thyme tea is excellent for sore throats. If you have raw honey you can also eat a teaspoon of that and just let it slide down your throat.

Gargle with salt water every hour.

If you can manage to swallow a whole garlic clove (you can cut it into quarter if whole is too big) that's also excellent for kililing the bugs. Garlic is nature's antibiotic.
