I have sore throat and 25 weeks pregnant?

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.

Let your OB know.: If you have a significantly sore throat w swollen tonsils / lymph nodes – see your medical provider ; get a streph throat test ; culture. Saltwater gargles are very helpful. Mix a teaspoon of salt in 8 oz of warm water – gargle with this several times a day. For congestion – saline nose drops or a netti pot. *for anti-inflammatory effect ; mobilizing mucus- homemade chicken noodle soup.**for >>.
