re: OT Parents - how would you handle receiving conflicting medical info from doctors?

I recommend to ask the doctor to change the prescription to Cipro or Bactrim (unless she is allergic to sulfa) first thing tomorrow morning. Those are lower risk than Macrobid.

I am allergic to avelox and augmentin; yet I can take Cipro. I took cipro for a UTI and breastfed and my son is fine.

I understand nurse's concern about cipro. I saw a sudden cipro backtrack warning a few years ago. I asked an MD and he blew the warning off. Cipro is not the best for UTI's but it'll do in a pinch of which I have been in.

This entire thing could go so many ways. I have very good reasons for always second guessing docs and PA's and trusting a pharmacist in this situation...

As a mom who breastfed all of my kids, I would not want to break in the breastfeeding- yet, a UTI could lead to a kidney infection and worse. The OP should call the doctor on call and not listen to 25 pages of opinions in so many variables.
