Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Nitrofurantoin is classically prescribed for urinary tract infection. As you are pregnant, it was prescribed.
2. For sore throat, amoxycillin with clavulonic acid should be adequate and nitrofurantoin is not known to work well. This can be taken during pregnancy.
3. Also do salt water gargling. Lozenges to soothe throat will also be helpful.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
