I am 5 weeks pregnant and I have a severe sore throat with a persistent cough that is preventing me from sleeping. Besides honey lozenges, what else can I take?

It is recommended to address the root cause of a sore throat, which in this case may be due to nasal mucus. Using a sinus rinse can help alleviate the irritation in the throat by clearing out the nasal passages. This can be complemented by taking Tylenol and consuming cold foods like ice cream.
