You should go see the doctor to rule out any possible infections, such as strep. Antibiotics can be taken for this.

alright. ill go tomorrow and make an apointment. i did have to go to the doctors for possible menigits. they are very doubtful which is good. however they took a mouth swab. or culture. do you think they just tested for that or everything else. cuz i told him my throat hurt so i dont kno if he was going to check for everything or just menenigits.

Hmm, not sure what they may have checked for? It wouldn't hurt to call and ask them. If they didn't check for strep then you should see the doctor. Are you running a fever?

I agree. call your Dr, I called my Ob for that during pregnancy.  I got really sick around Christmas last year, even lost my voice for a few days, terrible sore throat, I was around 26 weeks.  Take some Tylenol to get some sleep and drink lots of fluids and rest.  Not a whole lot you can do, but there are some otc remedies.  I also sucked on peppermints, they helped some.  Feel better!
