Suffering From Bladder Infection. Expecting To Be Pregnant, Is Taking Antibiotics Safe During This Period?
Hi I am in Egypt on holiday and think I have a bladder infection as I have the same symptoms as when I previously had one. So I have been to the pharmacy and they have given me zisrocin which is a anti biotic and urinex which are both supposed to be safe during pregnancy as I might be pregnant and I would like a second opinion please

Hello, as you are telling that you are having bladder infection (uti), have you gone to test your urine examination , any sort of burning in urine, fever etc , if not than you must go for urine examination first and than decide whether you are having urinary tract infection or not , also you havn't mentioned your pregnancy trimester, if it is first trimester than you must avoid any medication , otherwise you may take medicines as per guidance of your Gynaecologist & obstratician.but you must take medicines after proper investigations for UTI.
