Question: This is Palak here. Age 32. 5 weeks pregnant. History - 2 miscarriage(due to missing heartbeat on 6 week and 8 week respectively) and 1 healthy kid with c-section.
From yesterday I had a pain in throat, and today morning it was sever. I consulted doc and he prescribed below medicines.
Augmentin 625 MG Tab - 3 times a day
Sinarest Tab - 3 times a day
Betadine Mint gargle 2% 100 ML - 5ML syrup + 5 ML water - 3 times a day gargle.
I have inform doctor about my 5 weeks pregnancy. But I just want to reverify that above medicines are safe to take or not as I had not good history with pregnancy.

Brief Answer:
Safe and effective medicine
Detailed Answer:
Hello mam, thanks for trusting health care magic.
I understand your health concern.
Yes these are safe medicines both for the mother and baby and thus are commonly prescribed in pregnant women so need not to worry about it.
Augmenting is a very effective, good and safe antibiotic and sinarest is for the sore throat and general malaise.
Can take it as advised and you will have significant relief shortly.
In the meanwhile -
- avoid cold beverages and even drinking water should be at room temperature.
- take hot tea and coffee
- avoid spicy and fried foods
- warm saline gargles can also be alternated with betadine gargles in case betadine makes you nauseous.
All the best.
