Honey and lemon is great, if you have a temperature you can also have paracetamol to bring it down.
Congratulations

If it's a simple sore throat, cough drops are always ok, as is gargling with salt water, sucking on popsicles, and Tylenol. If you need something stronger, call your doctor to find out-you can probably just ask a nurse instead of bothering the doctor. If it's a sore throat that you think needs an antibiotic, most antibiotics are safe, but you need to make an appointment with your REGULAR doctor and make sure they get in contact with your OB before prescribing something.

Acetomenophin is perfectly safe. Also some warm milk and honey is very soothing. Do not take any cold medicines without first asking your doctor! Some can have very seriouse side effects on pregnancy. For general aches and pains, or discomfort Acetomenophin (or Tylenol) is completely safe.
I am in the process if writting a pregnancy book, I will be posting parts of it on my blog if you wanna check it out at:(http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fus... In my book I discuss pregnancy symptoms, and many things that doctors neglect to cover with expectant mothers. Hope some of that info is helpful!

My Dr told me to take paracetamol or Strepsils/Merocets but nothing stronger! As a result I had a sore throat for about 3 weeks and felt like shite!!

Lemon-Honey Tea and Gargle warm salt water. I am not sure about throat lozenges. Hopefully that will help.

gargle with salt water, drink lots of water, get rest and take your vitamins. DO NOT TAKE ADVIL. It can cause defects in your baby!

Simple linctus is the safest best. You could also suck a soother or tunes. Always ask the pharmacist before purchasing any medication.
