Patient's question:
Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:Okay, yesterday I don't know if I ate something bad, and as a result, I've been having diarrhea all morning. Medical history and effectiveness: I went to the hospital for a check-up because it was Saturday, and only on-duty doctors were working. I saw a doctor in Internal Medicine, and the doctor prescribed injections: 5% glucose 250ml x 2, Cefotaxime sodium 2.0 x 6 vials. What kind of help I need: Could you please tell me if my wife's condition allows her to receive Cefotaxime sodium injections? Does it have an effect on the fetus?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, this medication is one that should be used with caution during pregnancy. It means it can be used for short-term treatment, and short-term use does not affect fetal development. Moreover, at 4 months pregnant, the fetus's organs are basically fully developed, so using a medication with caution will not harm the fetus. Therefore, it is best to use medications during pregnancy under the guidance of a doctor, either using medications that are considered safe or those that are recommended for caution. Avoid self-medicating to treat conditions.At 4 months pregnant, it is advisable to start taking calcium supplements after treatment is complete, as fetal development accelerates significantly after this point, requiring more calcium than can be provided solely through diet.
