Sore throat/cold during tww

[jenners45]

I had a cold a week before the big o which I thought i'd shaken off but now I'm 4/5 dpo and i've got a really sore throat again, just wondering if its safe for me to take anything to help - painkillers/throat lozenges etc I really don'y want to take any risks but its so sore that it kept me awake most of the night and I feel terrible. Any advise please?

gargle salt water but don't swallow as you will be sick do it a few times a day works wonders. paracetamol and either warm ribenna or blackcurrent herbal tea and maybe some fresh orange juice, all are ok if your pregnant x
