A member asked:

I am 6weeks and wondering if the use of cotrimazole pills n cream could have caused any harm to my unborn child, because i had a fungus?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Martin Raff answered

SMX/TMP: Very unlikely to be harmful to your baby. But this will not in any way treat a fungal infection.
