POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy10 months agoA. Gallbladder microlithiasis, especially during pregnancy, can be quite painful and may lead to complications like gallstone-related biliary colic or even gallbladder infection (cholecystitis). The medications you mentioned are used to manage infection and inflammation:
1. Monocef (Ceftriaxone) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic often used to treat infections, including those associated with the gallbladder. It is generally considered safe during pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, but should only be used when prescribed by a doctor after evaluating the risks and benefits.
2. Metrogyl (Metronidazole) is an antibiotic used for treating bacterial infections. It is typically avoided during the first trimester of pregnancy but may be prescribed in the third trimester if deemed necessary. In your case, it's crucial that your doctor has weighed the risks and decided it was safe given the severity of your condition.
Since you are 36 weeks pregnant, doctors will carefully consider the safety of both the baby and you when prescribing medications. However, it's important to communicate any concerns or unusual symptoms to your doctor immediately, especially if the pain and vomiting persist or worsen.
Ensure you're closely monitored during this time, as gallbladder issues can sometimes lead to more complications during pregnancy.
