Hi,
You need to get checked by doctor to see your throat for tonsillitis and also to listen at your lungs to check for respiratory tract infections. The doctor may judge your situation if you need to take antibiotics or not. If yes you can take erythromycin that is allowed in pregnancy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
