HI,
Thanks for your query.
I have read your query & understood your problem.
You seem to have allergic problem leading to bronchitis.
* Antibiotics in 2nd month& monthly intake of antibiotics when prescribed by a doctor knowing about your pregnancy, is not likely to cause direct effect on fetal development except for stainning of teeth sometimes. But, the antibiotics are likely to cause B complex deficiency in yourself.. which would in turn cause loss of taste & less eating .. weakness& this may indirectly affect your baby.
Anti allergic pills taken for a long period is not indicated in early pregnancy ( before 3 months )
Intravenous injections of antibiotics ( permissible in pregnancy)/ broncodialaters do not affect fetal growth..
* Better way to manage your problem is to have consultation of a chest physician & start preventive measures for it.Inform the doctor about your pregnancy & then start with inhalers / medicines.. syrup, pills as per his expert advise.
Thanks.
