20 weeks sore throat

Hi im 20 wks. And the left side of throat hurts me so bad. When i gulp my left ear starts hurting too. On top of that i have mucus that drips in to back of throat and i keep having to cough it up. It feels like strep throat. I just dont know what to do. Anyone else experience this?

I am going through that now.  A combination of warm water, lemon and honey has helped along with gargling salt water

Yeah i know the feeling. I've been ill since wednesday. I try to rest a lot. Haven't taken any medication. Hot milk with honey helped with the sore throat. Now its evolved in a stuffed nose so can't breath. Breath with open mouth so my sore throat is getting worse again. I stay inside and try not to be in the cold. I keep something on my throat, a scarf or anything that keeps it warm. And when i cough i feel like i might throw up everytime :(
