Hallow Dear, Please get confirmed from the Obstetrician or an ENT surgeon whether you are having throat infection or this is a complication of the rash you had, probably due to viral infection. Bacterial throat infection will have to be treated by some antibiotics. However, during pregnancy, certain antibiotics like Tetracycline are not advised due to their teratogenicity. Hence, take antibiotics only with the advice of Obstetrician. In addition, avoid cold and chilled food or Chat Doctor.  Hot gargles with salt water or Listerine solution will help you. Half teaspoonful of turmeric powder and 2 SF of sugar in a glassful of hot water will help bring down the infection. Ignoring the infection may spread in the body through blood. It may be harmful to the baby also. I hope this helps you.
