Brief Answer:
Yes,It's safe

Detailed Answer:
Hello Ma'am,

Thank for asking your concern to healthcaremagic.
Happy to hear that you recovered from viral fever.

The tablet is safe but if I were your physician, would have not prescribed the same.
Your doctor might have suspected a possible secondary bacterial infection based on your clinical background.

If you have started the dose, complete the 3 days course and it will not harm your ongoing pregnancy.

If any further queries, feel free to ask.

Take care

Brief Answer:
Monocef o will be beneficial

Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam

Thanks for following up.

I have gone through the report carefully.

Do you have painful micturition ?

Do you have increased frequency in micturition ?

You seem to have developed urinary tract infection(Uncomplicated), for which Monocef O drug is a safer antibiotic in pregnancy compared to fluoroquinolone group drugs like norfloxacin which may harm pregnancy

Hope this helps.

Take care.
