Strep throat during pregnancy is not especially dangerous, particularly if you get a diagnosis and start treatment as quickly as possible. Antibiotics like cephalosporin or penicillin that is normally used to treat strep throat are also safe during pregnancy. Most importantly, you need to take care of the fever symptom which could be dangerous for your baby. Fever during the first trimester could prevent your babyâs internal organs from forming.
Despite what everyone else is saying, Sudafed is one of the few cold medicines you CAN take while pregnant. Not the Sudafed PE, just the plain ol' regular two pill dose Sudafed. My doctor gave me a list of what is okay to take during pregnancy, and that and Triaminic were the few things okay during pregnancy for colds and sinus issues. If you want to go drug-free though, which is always best, alternate cold and hot compresses on your forehead and sinuses.... that will help break it up.
