Im 23wks pregnant. i had a fever & cough. i took some cefuroxime axetil tablets. is it harmful to my baby please?

Should be fine: Cefuroxime axetil is a cephalosporin antibiotic. While it is transported across the placenta, it should not pose any risk to your baby, who is already past the period where risks of deformities related to other medications is highest.
