sore throat, colds, cough with phlegm (13 weeks pregnant)

Question

While waiting for my next check up sa OB ko in a few days. I just want to ask kung may nakaexperience din ng ganito: nagsimula sa sore throat, hanggang sa sinipon at inubo na dn at nagkaron ng phlegm. mag 1 week na since nagstart sore throat ko. Nag gargle na ko warm water with salt, bactidol, kamillosan spray. Uminom na dn ako warm water with lemon, ginger, & honey and lots of (room temperature) water. Sobrang maga pa din ng lalamunan ko. Naresetahan na ba kayo antibiotic during your pregnancy? Feel ko kasi un na solution since nag1 week na ko. :(

Karamihan ng mga kaibigan ko na pregnant din noon, ganyan din nangyari, nagsimula sa sore throat tapos naging full-blown cold with cough, at it took a good week or two bago talaga tumaas ang galing nila, kaya valid ang frustration mo. Definitely check with your OB sa next appointment mo kasi siya lang ang makakareseta ng safe antibiotics for pregnancy if kailangan talaga, pero sometimes sobrang phlegm and swelling ay tumatagal talaga even with home remedies, one of my mum friends said she gargled with salt water every few hours (like every 2-3 hours) and that helped her recover faster. The honey, lemon, and ginger approach mo is really good, just make sure you're staying super hydrated and resting as much as you can kasi ang immunity talaga ay a bit compromised when preggers. Pero honestly, I'd reach out to your OB clinic now if you can, kahit may kailan pang few days, matanong mo kung okay lang ba na mag-Strepsil or other throat lozenges in the meantime, o if they want you to come in earlier. Sending healing vibes, this too shall pass!
