IHi. I have a very sore throat. It's quite swollen, horse voice and now started coughing. I'm 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? I'm 14 weeks pregnant.
Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic .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 drug like Aspirin which is safe for pregnancy too .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 .
