any tips for treating it whilst pregnant?

last night I was waking every 15 mis or so from the throat pain and I even had icecream at 3am to soothe the pain

I have taken some panadol but thought some panadeine short term might help.

I wonder if I should ring the midwife cos I dont want to go and see the GP its a 35 min drive each way and 60 min wait!

any ideas?
