"I have a sore throat and I am coughing, but I am pregnant, what can I take? Is Echinacea okay?"

If you have a sore throat and are pregnant, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional before taking any medication or herbal remedies. Some options for relieving a sore throat during pregnancy may include gargling with salt water, sucking on throat lozenges or candies, using honey, or taking acetaminophen. However, the use of echinacea is controversial and not recommended for pregnant women.
