Sore throat while pregnant or breastfeeding

23. March 2025

If you experience cold symptoms and a sore throat during pregnancy, here's what you need to do:

Take time to rest.

During pregnancy, your body is busy protecting your baby. This makes you more susceptible to colds and their symptoms, such as a sore throat.

Home remedies have also proven effective during pregnancy.

If home remedies fail to achieve the desired effect, it is advisable to consult a doctor before taking any medication. As a precaution, you should avoid using medicinal products during pregnancy and while breastfeeding, or ask your doctor, pharmacist or chemist for advice.
