I've got a really persistant sore throat which, despite my best efforts, refuses to go away. I've done the honey and lemon (yummy!) and Lockets and Vicks, but nothing seems to shift it, and it feels like I have golf balls in my throat whenever I swallow. Plus, the cough is keeping me up at nights - even more than I'm normally up for with all the peeing and insomnia.
I've been to the doctor, who's prescribed some Difflam and paracetemol, and pretty much told me to ride it out. The Difflam doesn't work for very long, though the paracetemol is great.
Does anyone have any nice home remedies besides the ones I've already tried - ones that would be safe during pregnancy? I don't really want to rely on paracetemol all the time if I can honestly help it. I know it's safe, but just for piece of mind, I'll use something else if I can that works just as well, but isn't a pain killer.
Thanks for the help
