I have a horrendous sore throat. Does anybody know what I can take?

I think it may be turning into a cold as nose is streaming as well

I got told to take propolis (sp?) throat lozenges, not strepsils. You can get them from a pharmacy or supermarket. I found them really good.

I would ask at the pharmacy what they would recommend for pregnant women. I have a sore thoat as well and since i am still b/f can't really take anything either apart from lozones (which don't do anything for them).

I had that last week and made myself hot lemon and honey drinks. Yum! I used a fresh lemon and a teaspoon of honey in each mugful. So much better and nicer than Lemsip - and it worked instantly. Dont know if you can take Lemsip while pregnant. Anyone know?

Oh no **hugs** I had this when i was about 35 weeks pregnant aswell. My midwife said for to just have manuka honey for the sore throat.
Make a nice honey and lemon drink and sip that, it might help

Thanks everyone - I've been having honey drinks (can't find any lemon!)   Its the horrible scratchy sore throat, hopefully it will be better tomorrow.

You can get comvita throat lozenges which are safe during pregnancy.  Manuka is the active ingredient, and as it is a natural antibiotic it will help.  Other than that lots of liquids and lots of rest is the best you can do.  Hope you feel better soon.

I would have said honey and lemon drinks too, but for a horrible scratchy sore throat I like to eat dry toast.

Hope you feel better soon!
