Ive got an infected tooth and my dentist wants me to take some antibiotics, since I am allergic to penicillin I have to take an alternative form. I am 5 months pregnant and even though my Dr says it should be fine, I am reluctant to take such strong medication. Has anyone out there got any advice?

Take your medicine. The doctor and probably the pharmacist already discussed this with you. You're at more of a risk of miscarrying if you don't. Infection running through your body unchecked could cause more problems than taking the antibiotics. If you are still concerned, call and talk to the pharmacist.
I had to take antibiotics for an ear infection and strep throat my last pregnancy.

it really is the question that all pregnant females sweat over!!! Alcohol fairly crosses the placenta yet - the point is - that there must be a placenta in position and functioning before something can go it. hence each and every time the placenta is formed and functioning (and onwards) might want to be the possibility time for ingestion of alcohol and so on,and so on. i imagine that the acute organ formation occurs 3 weeks after fertilisation (maximum abnormalities in fetus ensue in the course of the organ formation degree). The third week of progression equates to week 5 of your truthfully being pregnant (because they workout recurring the dates on the starting up of your very last era not once you easily conceived). So this severe time falls once you may have neglected (assuming you've a 28 day cycle) your era - so that you probable might want to were eating before this time, and are hence ok. E.g. Week 4 of your truthfully being pregnant (or week 2 developmentally) is extra or less the time your next era is due so that you would possibly want to regularly provide up eating the following besides an entire week before the week 3 developmental (week 5 truthfully) degree of organ formation starts off. maximum reading shows that as long as you do not drink contained in the organ formation era (after the placenta has formed) your toddler might want to be ok. The 'what to anticipate even as watching for' e book has a really exciting write up on eating in very early being pregnant. between the authors writes that there is little possibility of damage being finished to the toddler in case you drank before you come across out you're pregnant. " there's no info that some liquids on some events early in being pregnant will educate risky to a arising embryo" She is going on to assert that she like 1000's of 1000's of alternative females had countless benders before they knew they were pregnant without shown ill effect. I too had countless liquids over the era before I knew i develop into pregnant with my very last toddler lady and that i will assure you she is in basic terms high quality. 6 months and in good structure and healthful!!! placed your concepts at relax, if you're pregnant I doubt that you've finished any harm. sturdy success!

it depends on the antibiotic, some antibiotics are safe when you are pregnant if your doctor says it is safe i am sure it is although if unsure you can ask your pharmacist they will beable to tell you the pregnancy category the antibiotic falls under, it is always good to check.

I had to take amoxicillin twice during this pregnancy. I would just get a second opinion that what I did.
