I have 2 enlarged lymph node in left armpit found in ultrasound general surgeon prescribed augmentin 1gm for 10 days twice a day i am 8 months pregnant ... is it safe in pregnancy and will augmentin dissolve these lymph nodes
yes .it is safe in pregnancy. it will settle the infection... lymph nodes can take 2-3 month to reduce to there original size
Aoa
some studies hv shown tht its use in pregnancy causes necrotizing enterocolitis in new borns-so i dont recommend augmentin use in either part of pregnancy...u shud take second opinion
