A member asked:

Hi, have a sore throat (started as post nasal drip). usually use a product like andolex-c (topical analgesic), but is it safe during early pregnancy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sore throat ?: Andolex-C is not certified as "safe" in pregnancy, although there are no known adverse effects documented. Warm saline gargles are often effective for symptoms described. Check with your OB for his/her advice.

If hot liquids increase mucus velocity+inflammation, and cold liquids decrease mucus velocity+inflammation, wouldn't cold be better for post nasal drip cough and inflamed/sore throat?
