[|Human|] hello dr... i am 8 weeks pregnant... now i am suffering from severe sore throat, fever, malaise, dysphagia. consulted ENT surgeon - he said it is an attack of acute tonsilitis... he asked me to take augmentin, combiflam (paracetamol + ibuprofen)... is it safe in pregnancy... my pain is very severe...
[|AI|]  Hallow Dear, If you are having acute tonsillitis, you have to take antibiotics to control the infection. You have been prescribed Augmenting. Augmenting contains a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium. Amoxicillin is an antibiotic in a group of Chat Doctor.  Amoxicillin fights bacteria in the body. Clavulanate potassium is a form of clavulanic acid, which is similar to penicillin. Clavulanate potassium fights bacteria that is often resistant to penicillin and other antibiotics. Hence, it is safe to take in pregnancy. For pain and fever, I would advise you to take plain Paracetamol. Some researches have found that any NSAID like Ibuprofen may lead to miscarriage of pregnancy. I hope this helps you.
