[|Human|] im a lactating mother to a 6month old child. i have been diagnosed w/ amoebiasis and was prescribed with Metronidazole. My child wont accept bottled milk so i am forced to let her still feed through me. Is it risky for my child? what other medicine can replaced Metronidazole that can be good for my child?
[|AI|]  Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. I have read your question in detail and I know that you are very concerned about your child. Metronidazole doesn't pass through breast milk and will have no effect on baby. You can continue taking metronidazole, and also you should continue breastfeeding the baby. There is no need to replace metronidazole. I hope this will help you. Wishing your child good health. Take care.
