Question 5

streptococcus milleri in the womb/placenta should this have been detected during my pregnancy? me and baby recieved antibiotic therapy but worried no

Accepted Answer

Strep milleri: This organism can be quite malignant, if in fact it is causing infection. It is not possible to tell whether its presence could have been detected earlier without more info on your symptoms and signs.  Hope that you and your baby are getting along well and will recover uneventfully from anything this may have caused.

Question 6

hi a pregnant lady in her first trimester and tooth needs to be extracted. but first antibiotics need to be given due to abcess.patient is allergic to penicillins. which antiobiotic is safe and is it safe to extract during first trimester.? thanks?

Accepted Answer

: The woman's dentist will determine which antibiotic alternative is best and then prescribe it. Extractions with local anesthetic should pose no issues. Since the tooth is hopeless and infected, the sooner it is out the better off her overall health will be.

Question 7

on lo loestrin fe, 1st package used, missed period. never missed a pill but i was on antibiotics during that time. we didn't use the pull out method at all. started 2nd pack yesterday. no pms symptoms. tested 2days ago & it was neg. could i be pregnant? i

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: But anything is possible. Wait 7-10 days and retest yourself with a home pregnancy kit. Good luck,

Question 8

is it safe to use keflex/cephalexin antibiotics 500mg 3x a day to treat possible mouth infection due to a burn during pregnancy? im 17 weeks pregnant

Accepted Answer

Start: Start by seeing a dentist to evaluate your situation and advise you. Burns usually just heal on their own. If necessary, your dentist can discuss treatment and medication with your Obstetrician. Please do not diagnose nor treat yourself. You are not a professional with training in this area and can do more harm than good. The professionals will do what&#x27;s best for you and your unborn child.

Question 9

uti during pregnancy - completed anti biotic - still excessive burning & pain ?

Accepted Answer

UTI ?'s: If you obtained a urine culture, and the bacteria causing the infection was sensitive to the antibiotic, the burning and pain may be due to a yeast (fungal) infection (i.e., not affected by the antibiotic).  See your OB physician for an exam and testing.

Question 10

hi, i was on antibiotics for uti after we tried for two times during my fertility period, and now i think i'm pregnant, will it affect the baby?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Most antibiotics are safe. Check the names of the antibiotics out with your doctor to confirm this. All the best.
