A member asked:

What antibiotic is effective in treating abd infection in 2nd trimester?flagyl and amoxicillin good choice?what blood tests rule out sepsis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: On the infection. Metronidazole cannot be used in the first trimester. It would be up to your doctor to prescribe an antibiotic for the infection. A blood culture can rule out sepsis. See your doctor for the abdominal cramping you are having for a diagnosis. Do not self treat with left over antibiotic especially when pregnant.
