Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Do not take cephalexin and trimethoprim capsules during breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is a special physiological period for women, which includes the postpartum period within 42 days after delivery. During the postpartum period, significant changes occur in the mother's body systems because there are large wounds in the uterus after delivery, making it easy to develop infections and other diseases. When breastfeeding women catch a cold or have bacterial infections, they often need to take some medication. When a mother breastfeeds her child, the drug can enter the baby's body through breast milk, although the amount of different drugs in breast milk varies greatly. An important principle of medication during breastfeeding is: to effectively treat the mother's illness while minimizing the impact of the drug on the infant.
