I have a bad throat infection and im about 5 weeks along. The doctor before i knew i was pregnant had given me some antibiotics. Now im worried, im definitely checking with my gynac first, but is it generally safe in early weeks? anyone faced this?
I actually had a UTI last week and was so scared to take any pills. My doctor prescribed a safe one and said untreated infections are worse for the baby, did your doctor say the same?
My doctor clearly told me that drugs like penicillin are generally safe, but others like tetracyclines should be completely avoided. Always double-check every medicine with your doctor before swallowing.
Hey, please don't stress too much! But seriously, never take any antibiotics on your own right now. Just call your gynac and they will prescribe some pregnancy-safe ones if you really need them.
Some antibiotics are absolutely safe, but many can be risky in the first trimester. You should never self-medicate; always show your prescription to your gynecologist first.
