Gargling with half water half peroxide helps get rid of the sore throat. Also spread garlic on a toast, it takes the pain right away.  For caughing, cut a purple onion in several pieces and cover it with honey, a few hours later it will start to make a lighter liquid, you can take two spoons as needed. It works like magic.

Honey will work as a cough  suppressant and Fishermans friends cough drops are safe while pregnant. Most cough drops have artificial sugars in them. I was amazed actually how many have aspertaime.

the best thing is gurgling with salt water, try kosher salt I find that it's way better than regular table salt. good luck
