Hi, I am 31 weeks pregnant and have been told today by my GP I have tonsilitus. I have been given penicilin and am taking paracetemol every 4 hours, but these are not helping the pain. I can t swallow, to eat or drink. How long before the penicil helps take away the pain, and is there any othe pain relief stronger than paracetemol I can take during pregnancy?
Hello dear, I understand your concern. In my opinion the paracetamol is safe for pain during pregnancy. You are also prescribed antibiotics for the clearance of infection. And nothing more is required. It will take 24-48 hours for clearance of infection. Take lukewarm water for Chat Doctor. It will provide you relief. Avoid chill items. Best regards...
