remedies for sore throat?

[MBabyRose14]

I feel like I may be trying to get sick. My throat started getting mildly sore and my nose is a little stuffy.. I can I stop this before  getting terribly sick? These 3rd trimester symptoms are enough as is and I really don't want to have to deal with a cold :/

Gargle with warm salt water also. Read the label, see if it tells you to consult a doctor if pregnant. I used halls with my sore throat. Also sleep with a cold air humidifier, works wonders my doctor had me do that for 3 weeks with my sinus infection.

Does anyone know if throat lozenges are safe during pregnancy?

Bc cold makes your throat worse , yea you can eat ramen noodles , my bf had bought me chicken noodle soups. Also when you make the tea inhale the steam that comes out the water.

Why nothing cold?

I know this may sound silly but I don't have any soup right now, I can go get some tomorrow but I do have ramen noodles... would that help if I drink the broth too?

I dealt with the cold for 4 days I felt horrible and I'm over due, you can drink mint tea add lemon and honey, drink lots of fluids nothing cold , soup as we'll helps . If you do shower go straight to bed . Be covered up. Also I was taking Tylenol and made me feel better till the 4th day but it helps. I was takin it twice a day. Stay in and rest I took my third day and my bf made me teas , soups , he let me sleep all day and next day I was feeling so much better. But rest rest all day in bed will help trust me.
