    Hot tea.

    There could be an approved medication I recommend calling your doctor and asking if there is something you can take.

    I googled it and got an article from the bump

    "What is sore throat during pregnancy?

    A sore throat is an inflammation of the throat that’s painful and reddened, and may lead to trouble swallowing and even breathing.

    What might be causing my sore throat during pregnancy?

    There are lots of possible causes of a sore throat — acid reflux, asthma, allergies, bacterial or fungal infections, pollutants or chemicals — but most are due to viral infections, says Mary L. Rosser, MD, PhD, an assistant professor in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Women's Health at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University. When you’re pregnant, sore throat is often due to congestion and postnasal drip.

    When should I go to the doctor with a sore throat during pregnancy?

    If your symptoms are severe or last more than 24 hours, talk to your doctor.

    How do I treat a sore throat during pregnancy?

    Try natural remedies like a saltwater gargle or hot water mixed with honey and lemon; if those don’t help, you can take acetaminophen for the pain.

    From that bump article. I hope those help. Honey tea has worked for me sometimes I just don't like the taste.

    I was thinking hot tea and honey but anything sweet really doesn't sit well with me during this pregnancy....so I was wondering what else may have worked for others...

    Listerine gargle every other hour. I had a bad case of tonsilitis that I managed to cure without antibiotics when I was about 10 weeks. I only drank hot water, salty soups, and gargled. Honey has antibacterial properties which is why it works so well.
