Being in a state of pregnancy, you should be really careful with the medication. Light med may have the same adverse effect on the baby like the strong med. Most of the doctors would advice to let your immune system work on it. No med much as you could to avoid any adverse implication on the baby.

However, this does not exempt the Health Center from not giving you the proper diagnosis. You should have been informed that you are incubating some infection in your throat that leads to tonsilitis.

Tell you what... I had the same case of throat infection before, similar to tonsilitis but my EENT doctor diagnosed it as Pharyngitis - swelling throat, painful ear, coughing, etc. I had the right med i shud say cos i was fine on the second day and i got her go signal to take the flight on the third day. She said i can not fly on that condition. This was the first time I had it, some 3 yrs ago back home in the Philippines.

I was on the same condition for the second time last week but decided not to see any doctor as I heard so much. I just had lots of water (lukewarm) with lemon but the best is the Oregano Tea (Zahtar Tea), lukewarm too + lots of Mandarin Orange which is in abundance and cheap at the moment in the supermarkets. whenever feeling itchy throat, bite some Mandarin orange. I had a flu and coughing, so i took the over-the counter med called Panadol Extra. But i do not advise to take Panadol ya? You must consult your doctor FIRST.

Keep Zahtar Tea (lukewarn in a flask) beside you at night and whenever the cough strikes, take 8 LITTLE SIPS. Little sips ease down the itchiness in the throat, big gulps do not much. REMEMBER 8 LITTLE SIPS or until the cough died down. + SLEEP EARLY. The best way to treat cough is SLEEP EARLY. Sleeping early conditions our immune system in order to fight well the nasty virus .

Hope I was able to help. Get well soon consciouseffort.

Cheers!
