Sore Throat

[Tillytots]

hi girls,

what can I take for a sore throat? before I was preggy Id be quite happy munching through packets and packets of tunes / soothers etc but now Im not so sure what you can have. Also is Vicks ok to use?

I'm pleased you've asked this question as I was wondering the same thing!

Seems to me that all throat sweets say to check with your Dr or MW before taking... so I'm not sure.

You could try gargling with warm water / salt in the meantime. Don't forget the trusty paracetamol too!

Honey and lemon is good for sore throats. Perhaps check with the MW about anything else though. I was told not to use decongestants like Sinex and Otrivine when I was pregnant last time but I'm sure I was allowed to use Vicks chest rub

thx girls,

I did the honey and lemon which was gross but helped. I went into the chemist and asked what I could have and they said any lozenges likeTunes, Soothers, Strepsils and paracetamol.

You can take panadol, this is allowed, maybe crush it up into warm water and gargle?

Halls soothers too, those fuirty new ones, not a problem with them,
