My throat is paining badly since 2 days and the tonsils feel swollen, im in 2nd trimester. Cant take my usual medicines now so feeling helpless. Anyone faced this during pregnancy, what did u do for relief?
For the mild scratchy throat I did warm gargles and steam, that helped a lot. Rest and warm fluids too. But if there is high fever or trouble swallowing, definitely see the doctor, dont take chances.
Beta for a sore throat, warm salt water gargle and warm fluids give comfort, this we always did. Honey in warm water also soothes. But if you have fever or it gets worse, dont treat it at home, go to the doctor.
Tonsillitis with fever can need proper treatment, please dont ignore it. Some throat medicines arent safe in pregnancy, so dont self medicate. Get your gynac or a doctor to prescribe whats okay for you.
