Is skin irritation after taking Novaclox for increased TLC during pregnancy normal?
Patient: Name: Pratibha Sharma Age: 31 (F) I am pregnent from last six month. My LMP is 14-09-10. Last week I got fever all test were normal except increase in TLC (11500). My Gyne doctor advised me to take Novaclox, but it causes skin irritation alongwith I don t like anything to eat. There is pain observed from Coller Bone to right abdomen. Please advice me. Doctor: Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the elevated leucocyte might not be considered as abnormal.Because there is elevation of leucocyte count upto 15000 in pregnancy.So you need worry regarding the elevated counts.Relax.hThe pain from collar bone to abdomen might be due to muscular pain.Some or the other type of non specific pain appear in pregnancy which subside on their own.Don't worry.Take Panadol if pain is severe.The skin irritation might be due to sensitivity to antibiotics.Take adequate fluids upto 3 litres per day to prevent dehydration and UTI.Hope this helps.Best regards...
