Hello,

Any drug in pregnancy is not good to your baby but there is less toxic drugs you can use like category A or B drugs. You can use salt water gargling and water vapor inhalation.

Avoid cool drinks and freeze water. Use tablet Amoxicillin Clavulanate twice a day for five days (category B), Tablet Cetirizine (category B) twice a day for five days.

If symptoms not improved, please consult your doctor, he/she will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
