My throat is burning today and I can barely swallow my food. I'm trying steam inhalation and warm water gargles, but it's not helping much. Should I wait it out or call my gynac immediately?
I completely understand how stressful it is to get sick when you can't take normal medicines. Try doing warm water gargles with a little salt, it's very soothing and totally safe. If it doesn't get better or if you get a fever, please contact your doctor for peace of mind.
I have a really scratchy throat today and I am so scared to take any over-the-counter cough syrup! I am just sticking to warm water and ginger tea right now. Has anyone else also had a throat infection in their second trimester, and what did your doctor suggest?
I had a bad throat infection during my pregnancy, and I completely avoided taking any medicine without asking my doctor. Personally, I just did warm salt water gargles and drank warm milk with a pinch of turmeric. It gave me great relief naturally.
Oh, a throat infection during pregnancy is so annoying because you can't even pop a random lozenge! Stick to the classic grandma-approved salt water gargles and warm ginger tea. If your throat still feels like sandpaper after two days, just let your doctor give you safe meds!
For a mild throat infection, warm salt water gargles 3-4 times a day and drinking warm ginger-tulsi water works wonders. However, if you have a high fever or severe pain, please don't take any random self-medication. Consult your gynac for pregnancy-safe treatment.
