I am not one to place blind faith in modern medicine but i was at a point where i seriously needed something to help asap!.!.!.since i'm not sleeping due to nursing a teething baby and cannot afford to be sick any longer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
It is not harmful but it does open you up to dealing with allergies and other issues like thrush!.

Watch the child and make sure s/he does not show any allergic response!.

Amoxicillan will kill out both the bad and good bacteria in the system!. That could open you and the baby up to thrush, diaper rashes and such!. I personally choose to add in probiotics/acidophilus to the diet when any of us are taking amoxicillan!. A high quality milk or soy yogurt will have probiotics (read the label)!. The health food stores will also have a liquid for those not eating table food!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Listen to your doctors advices!. First of all they have education and experience, and they can for sure tell you that its safe!.
Second, all antibiotics based on Penicillin (amoxicillin is in that group), can be safely taken during the pregnancy and nursing period!. They can pass in the breast milk off course, but in smaller percentage, and they can't do no harm to the baby!.
Don't trust so much on everything that is written on Internet!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Run to the store or order online "John Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You To Know About" Try not to let the early chapters upset you, just get the good info out of it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Most medicines will pass into breast milk- in extremely small amounts!. Amoxicillin is not harmful to your child and it really is safe to take it and continue breast feeding, your doctors would not prescribe you something potentially dangerous to your child without warning you- you can trust them!. If you feel you can trust internet sources over your doctors, you should probably think about that a bit!. It's good to ask questions but try to trust your doctor's answers!.

If you remain worried, you can nurse your child just before you are due your next dose of amoxicillin, so that the levels will be slightly lower in your blood!. But seriously though, it is excreted in such tiny amounts, and you'll only be on it for a few days, it really wont harm your child!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The best person to ask is the Pharmacist not ordinary people on Q&A!. I always ask my Pharmacist about any drug prescribed by my doctor before I take it!.
Always ask what interacts with the drug, and what side effects there might be!.
What should you take the drug with!.( some drugs like aspirin, should NEVER be taken with Grapefruit juice or Orange Juice!. this combination can be lethal!.Some drugs should only be taken with plain water, while others should be taken with milk
Some drugs must be taken before you eat and others after you eat!. simple but important questions!. Don't take chances with any drug, always ask the expert!. you local Pharmacist will be very happy to answer any questions no matter how silly YOU might think they are!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
