Should I Be Worried About The Ear Infection During Pregnancy?
I just had my ears pierced a few weeks ago and they are infected. I also just found out I was pregnant. Last Tim I found out I was pregnant, I had my belly button pierced and that got infected also, 3 months later I had a miscarriage. So should I take it out now or leave it in? I just can't have this happen twice.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM
As you have ear infection and also as you are pregnant i would suggest you to take out the earrings now and take a course of antibiotics.
Pencillins and cephalosporins are safe in pregnancy.So,only these group of antibiotics should be taken during pregnancy.It wont have any bad effects on pregnancy.
Hope you are happy with the answer.
Thank you
