This broth, according to doctors, softens the general malaise in the period of illness. Do not take salty and hot drinks, as they irritate the sore throat even more.

Treatment of sore throat is also necessary by intensive throat rinsing. For rinsing, you can use a ready-made solution of furacilin, a decoction of chamomile or sage, or a warm salt or soda solution. It is good to apply warm salt or sand to the outer side of the throat, having previously spread them into small pouches, or boiled egg( warm).In addition, the room in the room where the pregnant woman is, should often be ventilated, fresh air should be enough.
