This is doing my head in, started with a cold a few days ago, the cold isn't bad but I have a really sore throat. I get strep throats really badly and nearly every time I get a cold.
I have tried blackcurrant glycerin boots cough syrup and corvona throat sweets neither are really working.
As I am pregnant all the remedies I would take are unavailable, so I am just hoping someone can suggest a miracle cure (as I know my throats getting worse) I can't even take honey and lemon any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks for the advice. SIL suggested gargling with tcp, its gross but seems to be working just can't wait to feel normal again. :)

Gargling with TCP, it disinfects and numbs the throat.
