Hello,
Amoxicillin is prescribed to treat susceptible bacterial infection during pregnancy. The most common bacterial infections during pregnancy include urinary tract infection, bacterial vaginosis, and upper respiratory tract infection.
Based on the symptoms given in your history, you seem to be suffering from bacterial vaginosis for which your doctor has prescribed a course of Amoxicillin. Amoxicillin is considered safe to take while pregnant. Hence, continue to take as prescribed by your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
