HELP. SWOLLEN THROAT

I'm 11 weeks pregnant and have been sick for a week. it has gotten progressively worse and i lost my voice Sunday. My throat gets more and more swollen, i have a horrible cough and a low fever.
Been on antibiotics for 2 days and don't seem to be getting better. The doctors don't seem to want to give me anything other than tylenol.
Anyone have tonsillitis or such during first trimester and what did u do.
i've done salt water, tea, etc et al anything u can think of.

Honey and lemon drink.
It won't cure it but it'll help!
Just had honey and lemon to taste to hot water  
The honey coats your throat nicely.

Other than that lots of Vit.C and ride it out. I hate tonsillitis  

If it doesn't improved I would go back too, antibiotics take a couple of days to kick in.

thanks. i'll try the honey lemon thing . gargles don't do smurf cause it's too low down in my throat.
