Q: Sore Throat Medication

What is the best over the counter medicine to take for a sore throat/cold if you are pregnant? It is too early for me to take an ept, but I could possibly be pregnant. If so, I know that this is a vital time of development for the baby and would not want to jeopardize anything. However, I have a sore throat and every medication I can find says not to take it if you are pregnant.

Thanks

Well you might want to check if you are pregnant so you can be positive. But im not sure of much medicines to take, but you can make some hot tea, put lemon and honey. I know that helps the throat alot. Im not a medicine fan so thats what I use for everything.
