So I have a sinus infection :( I'm on antibiotics (amoxicillian) for the next 7-10 days. Even when I'm not pregnant I'm not a fan of taking much medication, so I am a little worried. However, I trust my midwife and she is ok with me on these meds. She says it's better to get this taken care of then let an infection get worse. I guess the meds I'm on are class B, which I was just told is a safe medication class.
Let's hope we all get past this in the best of health!
I got a horrible ear infection when I was preg. with R. I didn't realize it though, I thought the symptoms were pregnancy related! Anyway, I didn't figure it out until I passed out and had to go to the doctor! So then I took antibiotics. Sometimes it is worth it to take the medicine. Especially if you trust your midwife's advice and you feel like it is the right thing to do.
ReplyDeleteAlso- this database from the National Institute of Health is great! It tells you the the safety class for medicine related to pregnancy and breastfeeding and it tells you why (links to study information, tells you whether the data is limited or very good etc). They also have a free phone app, I love it! http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT
