Is Zithromax safe during pregnancy?

Gargle with some sage instead, but whatever you do, don't swallow it. You also need to be careful with those various throat lozenges floating around—a lot of them actually contain alcohol. Generally speaking, just stay cautious with herbal remedies; if you aren't absolutely certain about something, it's better to just ask on Dr. Harni's forum hosted by Ines Buhač to see if they're safe to use during pregnancy.

Yeah, look, I’m not about to just swallow anything blindly; I’m basically just gagging at the thought. And there is absolutely no way in hell I’m popping random pills because the whole idea of medication during pregnancy totally freaks me out. But honestly, I’m living on a shoestring budget right now, which is probably why my immune system has completely tanked and my allergies are starting to act up and drive me crazy. We have these massive trees in my neighborhood and it is an absolute disaster, just constant pollen flying everywhere.

My OB just prescribed Sumamed because my swab came back positive for strep in my vaginal culture. I’m a little nervous about taking it since I’m 15 weeks pregnant... 😲
Does anyone have any advice on how to handle this? 🙂
