What throat sweets are ok?
I seem to have come down with this illness that’s been doing the rounds. My throat is in pure agony and normally my go to throat sweets are jakemans black menthol ones but apparently I can’t have them now I’m pregnant?
Can anyone advise what I can use?

I’ve been taking soothers and jakemans for a sore throat during pregnancy and my baby is healthy x
You can have soothers etc. It's just things with phenylephrine in that you can't have (lemsip etc)
I had the black jakemans early in pregnancy when i was really ill, my baby is perfectly fine and healthy
try preggo pops off amazon, they are more for nausea then soreness but it would be something to suck on.
I don’t think any of them are approved for use in pregnancy, unfortunately. I recommend paracetamol, honey and lemon, and gargling salt water. Feel better soon!
