Hi , Dr. My daughter in-law is in her 34th week of pregnancy. Recently, she had been suffering with lot of cold /cough with some breathing discomforts. Her dr has advised he rto take Cepodem & Deriphylline. I am just worried if that is ok. Is there any other way than taking the antibiotics? Pls suggest. Thanx.
Hi, It is best if she takes the Code and the Deriphylline as prescribed by the doctor. She is already 34 weeks and the Code will not cause any harm to the baby. The Deriphylline will help her breath more easily. It is very important that she takes the medications as breathing discomfort and chest infection in pregnancy can harm both mother and baby, if not treated promptly. Hope this helps. Regards.
