1st Trimester

Ugh nasty sore throat

It started last night out of nowhere and is 10 times worse this morning, I am heading to the airport to head home after a business trip so five hours on a plane should make it feel great :(

Two questions, I  never get sick, Is this a common symptom in earli 1st tri?  I am only 4 weeks 3 days right now so I haven't really had any symptoms

And two, are cough drops safe in first tri?

Re: Ugh nasty sore throat

  • Do you have any other symptoms? fever? body aches? I woke up with a sore throat that started last night. I've got a fever and my whole body aches; I'm going to the doctor in about an hour and I'll be surprised if it's not strep throat. :( I'm not sure about cough drops. I can't imagine them being particularly bad.
    OMG too many tickers...

  • So, randomly, marshmallows were originally made to remedy sore throats. It can't hurt to try them.  I guess they absorb whatever is hanging out at the back of your throat irritating it.  My doc told me when I was preggers the 1st time that cough drops are no good because of the menthol in them?  I had the Ludens but they were really just for the taste, you know?

     

    Good luck and I hope you feel better xoxo

  • I would try some garlic softgels to kill whatever is causing the sore throat.  And gargle with salt water (even though I HATE that!).  You can get a sore throat from post nasal drip from pregnancy, but it shouldn't be super duper painful usually.

  • It sounds like you could be getting sick. I would drink lots of water (I know you are probably floating away already). I've heard that marshmellows work like PP said but I have never tried them. I'm told cough drops are not good during pregnancy. You could always try some hard candy to help. I always find that warm drinks help (a decaf tea or something).
