Patient: Hello doctor, I had a cold some time ago, but now I am basically well, but my throat and ears have been uncomfortable, there is always phlegm in my throat that I can’t cough up, and there are many small particles in the heavenly part of my throat. I am now more than 5 months pregnant, how can I improve my symptoms? A: Generally speaking, there are not many cases of ear discomfort caused by pharyngitis. Early to mid-term pregnancy sometimes has an effect on laryngitis. Because pregnancy medication needs to be used with caution, treat laryngitis symptomatically by resting, sleeping, drinking water, avoiding fumes, and keeping your mind relaxed as much as possible.
