What Causes Sore Throat During Pregnancy?

I am 8 1/2 weeks pregnant and have had a sore throat for almost a week now. It gets much worse at night. It is not scratchy but hurts to swallow. Today it seems to have moved to my tongue. It feels as though my tongue has swelled up and also hurts to swallow.

Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic.
I have gone through your query.
I think I have understood your concern, I will try to suggest you the best possible treatment options.
As such immunity is a bit low during pregnancy period.
I will suggest you warm salt water gargles, Betadine gargles 3 times a day after food for 5 days.
Tab AZEE 250mg 2 times a day for 3 days, Anti cold tablets 3 times a day for 3 to 5 days will be of help.
Please avoid deep fried foods,bakery products and cold beverages. Have plenty of water intake in a day.

I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
Wish you good health.
With regards
Dr Purushottam
