Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,

Any infection in preganncy needs to be treated promptly a lot of women do not take medication thinking it may adversely affect the baby, but it is very important to get the infection treated.

The cefolac is a antibiotic useful in respiratory tract infection and is safe in pregnancy. Moreover the first 12 weeks is a very crucial time and after this period it is generally safe to take medications.

Do complete the course of this antibiotic.

The gestakind is a medication which is helful in cough and also relaxes the womb so do use it.

Hope this helps.
Regards.
