Ugh . . . sore throat!

Last night before going to bed, I had a sore throat, and it definitely did not get better and kept me up a good bit of the night. It has come and gone today, but still I need a (pregnancy approved) remedy. Any suggestions?

  • also i got those honey filled cough dropped that helped a little with my sore throat! feel better
  • Ew, terrible! I usually try to avoid medications when possible (pg or not). But there does come points where I can't take it anymore. My first week after my BFP, everyone at work was sick and got me sick. My throat was strange, it was really swollen, but not sore, so I just ate/sucked on ice like there was no tomorrow. That may work to help numb your throat too (or popsicles). Vitamin C is good (PNV should be helping you on that), and I would probably resort to Tylenol if I couldn't take the sore throat anymore. Tylenol is fine, just avoid the aspirin and ibuprofen.

     So that's what I would think to do for myself. I hope you feel better soon! And as always, nothing beats rest when you can :)

  • I hope you get to feeling better!
  • garggle(sp) with salt water...that always helped me.

    Totally forgot about this! It's what my mom tells me to do every time! Warm salt water, gargle and spit, repeat for a few minutes or so throughout the day.
