Any other symptoms?: Sore throat in pregnancy is treated the same as if you were not pregnant. If no fever, productive cough, or underlying infection; it's best to wait since most are from viral infections & antibiotics make no difference. Try salt water gargles to decrease swelling, rest your voice, and let your OB know at your next visit. Call if you have fever, increasing pain, or trouble breathing. Good luck.
