Antibiotics

Have any of you had a sinus infection while pregnant or nursing? If so, what did your doc prescribe? I am miserable today. My DH has a refill left on a Zpack he was prescribed recently that I could go get but for some reason I don't think that is safe for nursing mamas. I will prob end up just going in but was wondering what you girls have taken.

    As far as I know that is safe I was prescribed that two times while pregnant due to sinus infections, I would assume its safe for a nursing mamma if you can take it while pregnant, I would just call and ask nurse at docs office if not sure and your still not comfortable. Hope you feel better soon

    I took it while I had mastitis, but not before arguing bc with my PCP who was unfamiliar with the effects on nursing. Long story short, I called both my LC and LO's ped and they said it was perfectly fine to take it while nursing. I also had another antibiotic for a sinus infection in the fall.. I think most/almost all antibiotics are safe to take. I say get the zpak! I hate sinus infections. Feel better!

    The antibiotic I was prescribed was fine with nursing. I just took a probiotic to avoid thrush

    Turns out I'm a mess! I have an ear infection AND sinus infection. She gave me a Rx for Augmentin!! Started a probiotic and she ok'd mucinex too in case you guys wonder if it's ok to take, she said it is.

    Feel better! Take the highest count probiotic you can. Your body gets rid of what it doesn't need, so better more than less.

    Sorry I'm late to the convo but wanted to add my .02. I'm taking both Mucinex and Omnicef (antibiotic). I've noticed a drop in my supply. I seem to be able to produce enough to feed LO but am not necessarily pumping as much as I normally do. I usually pump extra (5-8 oz) in the AM and sometimes pump another 3-5 oz in the evenings. I am hoping its something temporary due to the Mucinex but will be keeping my eye on it. Just thought I'd mention to you all as well. 
    Hope you feel better soon!
