Hi, I think I've got a tooth infection which gives been trying to manage with corsodryl but all my glands are up so I dont think im winning the fight.
I read that antibiotics arent ok to take when pregnant, has anyone got any experiences with that? I'm 11 weeks gone if that makes a difference. Thank you

There are some antibiotics which are considered safe in pregnancy.

I had a round of antibiotics at 22 weeks, chest infection. Now I'm again on antibiotics (27 weeks) for strep throat.

As with every medicine you need to take only when your doctor considers it necessary.
Your doctor will be able to advise you on it.

Corsodyl won’t manage an infection.
There are safe antibiotics for pregnancy that will.
Go to the dentist

An infection itself can be more risky if left untreated. The doctors will know what to give you- don’t leave it

I had penicillin in this pregnancy due to a chest infection and they were definitely ok in pregnancy. Fell better.
