Question

13 weeks and my throat is paining since yesterday, thoda scared because im trying not to take any medicine. Is sore throat normal in pregnancy or could it be something I should worry about? Will check with doc but wanted to ask here first.

I totally feel you, being sick during pregnancy without regular medicines is so tough. Sending you lots of love, just keep sipping warm fluids.

I had a nasty sore throat in my second trimester. Just drank warm ginger water and it went away in a few days. You will get through this!

When I had a scratchy throat, mummy made warm haldi doodh for me. It was so soothing and safe, felt like home.

Be careful if you are having honey-ginger mixtures for throat relief, especially if you have high sugar. Warm salt water gargles are the safest option.

Haan, seasonal change se ho jata hai easily. Ghar pe warm water me thoda namak dal ke gargle karo, clear ho jayega.

I got so paranoid that it was something serious and kept calling my doc. It's mostly normal due to low immunity, but please check with your gynac if you get a fever.

Yes, it happens, but do not take any over-the-counter cough syrups or tablets. Stick to warm water and ask your doctor if it persists.
