For a sore throat and cough, it will be important to drink a lot. Eating cold foods (sucking on ice cubes or ice cream) or hot foods (soups) may help
You can also take honey lozenges. If the pain is severe, acetaminophen, 1-2 tablets every 6-8 hours is safe throughout the pregnancy. A DM syrup would also be safe if the cough is really annoying. Don't hesitate to ask at the pharmacy for more personalized advice
If you are pregnant, always seek professional advice before buying or taking any medication, including natural health products and supplements. Many cough and cold products contain multiple ingredients, so be careful
