Are Antibiotics Safe During Pregnancy?
Hi..
I'm really worried with my condition, urine test resulted that I have klebsiella pneumoniae/UTI. It was diagnosed in my 12week pregnancy, my doctor prescribed amoxicillin at first, but still not cured. Again, she prescribed co'amoxiclav, then cefuxime, and then macrodantin..but still it's recurring, although it lowerd my puss cells.
M now on my 5mo-pregnancy..and very worried for my baby.. Can the successiv diffrnt types of antibiotics affect my baby?
Aside from antibiotics, is there any herbal or natural remedy for this?

Hi,
Welcome to health care magic. I have understood your concern.
Your doctor has given the pregnancy safe antibiotics ..& cahnged them when there was no relief.
Usually treatment is started with sensitive antibiotics for klebsiella pneumonae,( after sending urine sample for investigations ordered for urine routine / culture & sensitivity & also CBC) . This helps in pinpointing the causative organism & the medicines it is sensitive to(.The antibiotic to be changed if needful) antibiotic safe in pregnancy is picked up & given a full prolonged course for curing the infection ( till three consecutive morning urine samples were clear in routine test.)
You can discuss the thing to treating doctor & follow the instructions given.
Thanks
