Hello ma'am and welcome.
Any more medications than already prescribed are just going to be more harmful than beneficial for your baby. So I would recommend keeping your neck and body warm, and try some home remedies like sips of lukewarm water with salt to gargle and spit out. Healthy eating and nothing other than the medications prescribed. Pregnancy is all about enduring and this will surely test your patience, but be strong.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
