I'm 23 weeks pregnant and have an awful sore throat that I believe is from postnasal drip, my ears feel blocked too and I just need some natural home remedies because I know medication is almost completely off the table.

I've tried warm water with honey, ice water, ice cream, swallowing a tbsp of honey. I don't drink much tea but I'm willing to do about anything at this point because I can't sleep. Any advice is appreciated.
