I'm 17 weeks pregnant. it's 3am, been in bed for 7hrs, but cannot fall asleep because of an extremely sore throat. what can i do at home at this hour to get some sleep?

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.
