Sore throat pregnant: Elevate head of bed so decreases post nasal drip. Gargle with salt water ( kills bacteria), 1 tablespoon to 8 oz water ,swish and spit. Gargle with mylanta or maalox 1-2 teaspoons swish and spit. try tylenol (acetaminophen) (325 mg )follow up in AM with doctor.

Tylenol (acetaminophen): It would be safe to take Tylenol (acetaminophen) and be assessed for the cause of your sore throat in the morning. All the best.
