Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Antibiotic will be given for short course , that should not cause any problem. I meant to ask whether you were on any long duration medications. If you were not on any long duration medications then no need to worry.

Just continue your pregnancy.

Regards.
