My throat is swollen and paining a bit, and my period is also late this month. Now im wondering matlab is this pregnancy related or just a normal throat thing? Bit confused honestly.
Swollen tonsils are usually due to a viral or bacterial throat infection, not pregnancy. Since taking random medicines is risky now, please check with your gynac for a safe treatment. Don't ignore it if you have a fever.
Oh no! Swollen tonsils mean you won't be able to enjoy your food cravings properly, which is the worst! It's likely just a regular throat cold, so try some warm soup and steam till it gets better.
I totally understand how uncomfortable it is to have swollen tonsils when your body is already going through so much. It's usually just a throat infection because pregnancy makes our immunity low, dear. Take care and have some warm water.
Looking back at my pregnancy, immunity does go down, making you catch throat infections easily. Swollen tonsils aren't a direct symptom of pregnancy, but rather a normal infection due to low immunity. Just gargle with warm salt water and you'll be fine.
I felt so sick in my first trimester and my tonsils actually swelled up badly. I thought it was a weird pregnancy symptom, but my doctor said it was just a regular infection because of low immunity. Warm ginger tea was my savior!
My hospital doctor clearly told me that tonsillitis is an infection and not a pregnancy symptom. I would suggest asking your gynac or the hospital staff before taking any throat lozenges or antibiotics, just to be safe.
