Patient's question:
I just got pregnant, but because of gastroenteritis, I was given an anesthetic injection of sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim. Will it affect the baby?Doctor's answer:
According to your situation, you are pregnant, and without knowing it, you used Gentamicin. This medication can enter the fetus through the umbilical cord and affect it. Recommendation: Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside drug that can cause significant liver and kidney damage and may lead to epilepsy. It is recommended that you stop using it. For patients with gastroenteritis, while receiving proper medical treatment, you can use folk remedies as supplementary treatment in daily life. In daily diet, it is important to have a balanced diet and avoid foods.
