Hello
I appreciate your concern
Curam 1 gm combination of amoxycillin and clavulinic acid is a preferred antibiotic during last trimester of pregnancy.

Since you have the symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection so please follow your doctors advise and take the complete course of antibiotics as advised.

You should do gargling with warm saline water or antiseptic mouth wash.
You should also take multivitamins supplements and lozenges for a soothing effect.

Hope this helps you
best wishes
