Acetaminophen: Acetaminophen is generally considered safe in pregnancy (class b: https://online.Epocrates.Com/noframe/showpage.Do?Method=drugs;monographid=306;activesectionid=12). However, it's still best to see your OB or family doc to make sure you don't have strep (which is treatable w/antibiotics) via centor score (http://www.Mdcalc.Com/modified-centor-score-for-strep-pharyngitis/).
