It is not recommended to use the drug during breastfeeding. In patients with significant inflammation, cephalosporin can be applied at discretion, but metronidazole is not recommended.
Metronidazole is very effective in killing anaerobic bacteria, as the concentration of this drug in breast milk is similar to that in blood. If a mother breastfeeds immediately after using metronidazole, the drug will enter the infant’s body through breast milk, stimulating the infant’s digestive system, and corresponding symptoms of the gastrointestinal tract will occur. And due to the weak metabolism of the infant’s liver, the drug can not be excreted from the body in a timely manner, easily causing damage to the baby’s organs.
Cephalosporin is a relatively common antibiotic, has a very good antibacterial, bactericidal effect, the application of cephalosporin during breastfeeding is relatively safe. Only a small amount of cephalosporin can be secreted through breast milk, which will have less effect on the child and will not damage the baby’s organs.
Mothers with inflammation during breastfeeding need anti-infective treatment, you can use cephalosporin under the guidance of a doctor with caution, but it is not recommended to apply metronidazole, and breastfeeding should be interrupted when you have to use the drug.
