You seem to be suffering from viral upper respiratory tract infection which is a common type of throat infection in this season. You may need to take simple antibiotics like amoxicillin, simple anti cold medicines like chlorphenaramine and steam inhalation which is safe during pregnancy
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
