Should I go to ER or walk in clinic while pregnant with sore throat, chest congestion and burning ears? I am so miserable!

Question

I currently do not have a primary care doctor.
So what’s the best way to go about this? I’ve tried taking medicine but it doesn’t seem to be helping at all.

Accepted Answer

The ER is for emergencies... just go to a walk-in clinic.

Answer

This isn’t an emergency. A walk in clinic or urgent care is more than capable of helping you.

Answer

Try an urgent care

Answer

Walk-in clinic. The ER is for emergencies.

Answer

Take acetaminophen (Tylenol) for the pain/swelling/fever, and go to an urgent care or walk in clinic. This isn't an emergency.

Answer

I’m currently getting over a cold. Yes it’s terrible but you’ll feel better in a few days. My doctor prescribed robitussin dm for the cough and congestion. I also took Benadryl to help with the post nasal drip. Try to do steam in the shower to help break up the congestion. Hope this helps.
