What should I do if I take metronidazole and breastfeed?

First of all, you should not take metronidazole tablets during breastfeeding, because metronidazole tablets will affect the baby through breast milk, and the baby may cause a gastrointestinal reaction after digestion. Because the baby's own digestive tract is not fully developed, inhaling metronidazole at this time may cause abdominal pain, even abdominal colic, or allergic symptoms.

In addition, if anti-inflammatory treatment is needed clinically, penicillin and cephalosporin are generally chosen. As long as there is no skin allergy, they can be used. For women who suffer from candidal vaginitis during breastfeeding, they can stop breastfeeding and choose oral medication, or continue breastfeeding and choose vaginal suppositories, such as metronidazole suppositories, which can also have a therapeutic effect.

Ornidazole has a certain adverse effect on breast milk. Generally, it is not recommended to take ornidazole during breastfeeding, otherwise it may have adverse effects on the baby. At this stage, after taking ornidazole, it is recommended to drink more warm water to promote the rapid metabolism of the drug in the body. Generally, it is more appropriate to consider breastfeeding after a period of 36 to 48 hours.

What should I do if the mother is sick during breastfeeding and accidentally feeds the baby right after taking medicine?

1. If it only happens once in a while and the amount is not large, it is not a big deal. As long as it is not taken in large quantities for a long time, it will not affect the baby, so don't worry too much.

2. However, mothers need to be careful when taking medication during breastfeeding. It is best to wait at least an hour before breastfeeding after taking the medicine.

3. It is recommended to breastfeed before taking the medicine, so that the breastfeeding time and the medication time can be separated.

4. If you need to take medicine during breastfeeding, it is recommended to choose medicines with Chinese herbal ingredients, so that the side effects and impacts are relatively small.

5. Mothers should drink more water, eat fresh fruits and vegetables, keep warm, exercise moderately, and enhance their resistance. This can reduce the probability of getting sick and prevent medication from affecting breastfeeding.
