A member asked:
Im breastfeeding and i have e coli infection, i took suprax (cefixime) 400 for 6 days will that be enough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends : If u are symptom free then 6 days shd be enough esp if it is urinary infection. Medicine is not harmful during breast feeding but may cause diarrhea in the baby. Sometimes the infection can recur and ur symptoms will return. If so u shd consult ur doctor again.
