Relief for a sore throat when pregnant?

I just got back from a trip a few days ago and I have a feeling I may have caught some sort of bug. My throat has been very sore for two days now and I have to go back to work after tomorrow, and my job involves me talking all day long.

Is there anything I can do to get some relief? I read some sites that say you can take cough drops but other sites say no so I’m not sure. I can try and get a hold of my doctor but he is generally booked up for a few weeks in advance
