Hi, Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar here. I welcome you to HCM VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

As she has already been pregnant by 3 months, doctor has rightly advised to continue with the treatment.

Usually Injection Streptomycin iif used leads to damage to ear nerve. But it seems that this injection was not given to her. So you need not worry.

In such situations we have to balance the risk of complications against the benefits of the treatment.

Please don't worry. All things will be fine.

I hope this answer helps you
Thanks
