IHi. I have a very sore throat. Its quite swollen, horse voice and now started coughing. Im in a strange country on holiday. I go back to my own country on sunday, should I wait to return home or should i get to a dr here? Am i putting my baby at great risk, or should i try natural rmedies? Im 14 weeks pregnant.
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor . You can gargle with warm water with some salt added, do this at least 3-4 times a day. A concoction of herbal green tea or white with added ginger and honey is also beneficial. Cinnamon, ginger and holy basil warm concoction is also beneficial. If you are away then you can try taking Non -Steroidal anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor. A sore throat with high fever can be harmful for your pregnancy so other than above measures do see a doctor if fever or sore throat persists. Thanks and take care.
