Specializes in Infectious Disease

Yes: Yes, it's fine. Medications being taken by the male partner are rarely important. What matters is what mom is taking.

Absolutely: 2 suggestions: 1. Have the tooth treated. Antibiotics will control the infection but not cure the tooth. 2. When it comes tie to name the baby remember "arnold".
