Hello, and i hope I can help you today.
Low white blood cells (which are the disease-fighting cells in your body) can occur both as a result of a disease that lowers your white cell count (like
HIV) or by consumption when your body is working hard to clear an infection. In your case, your doctors were concerned you had an infection in your body causing your white blood cells to fall. They found the infection in your kidneys and prescribed an antibiotic, which if it works, should clear the infection and your white cell count will return to normal.
Your white cell count and your having a
kidney infection does not affect the baby at all as long as you are treated properly and follow your doctor's advice. My only concern is that if you truly have a kidney infection,
amoxicillin is not a particularly strong antibiotic for
urinary tract infections. So if you have taken the medication for a few days and you still have
fever higher than 38.5 Celsius, (101f) or bad
flank pain occasionally IV antibiotics are needed for treatment.
I hope my answer was helpful for you today and that my advice was helpful.
Best wishes, Dr. Brown
