Medicine for sore throat

Sore throat during pregnancy can be really uncomfortable, but it's definitely worth checking with your gynae or PD first before taking anything, even lozenges, since they want to be careful about what goes in during the first trimester. Most of the time they'll suggest simple things like gargling with salt water, drinking warm honey and lemon, or using a humidifier to soothe your throat naturally. Once your doctor confirms what's safe for you specifically, they can recommend the right lozenges or mild pain relief if needed.

It’s always better to consult a GP and take a pregnancy safe medication. Do not self medicate and do inform your doctor that you’re pregnant currently.
