What causes throat pain during pregnancy?

Question

I've developed a persistent throat pain, but I don't have a cold. What could be causing throat pain during pregnancy, and is it a common symptom?

Yaar, actually it could be dry air or mild infection. Try warm salt water gargles, it works like magic.

It could be due to acid reflux, which is very common. My saas made me drink warm milk with a pinch of turmeric, and it gave me so much relief!

If you have a high fever or severe pain making it hard to swallow, please check with your doctor immediately to rule out any infection.
