Hi,
I will suggest you to start a course of antibiotics which will be safe for pregnant women. I will suggest you to start azithromycin 500 mg 1 tablet in empty stomach for 6 days, along with a cough syrup for 5 days. Also, start paracetamol tablet 500 mg for 5 days. Gargle with warm water 3 times a day.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
