Penicillin is generally considered safe for use during pregnancy, and it is often prescribed to pregnant women for the treatment of bacterial infections, including tonsillitis. Tonsillitis is typically caused by a bacterial infection, and antibiotics like penicillin are effective in treating such infections.

However, the decision to prescribe medication during pregnancy is based on a careful consideration of the potential benefits and risks. It's important to inform your healthcare provider about your pregnancy and any other medications or conditions you may have.

Additionally, different forms of penicillin and other antibiotics may be used, and the choice of antibiotic can depend on factors such as the specific bacteria causing the infection and your individual health circumstances. My Recommendation No Cap-𝕓𝕚𝕥.𝕝𝕪/𝕖𝕟𝕕𝕠𝕡𝕖𝕒𝕜𝟝

Is it safe to take penicillin in early weeks of pregnant?

If your doctor knows you are pregnant and you are not allergic, take it, he is prescribing it because it is the best antibiotic for your condition. Your baby is probably safe from the penicillin, but the infection may harm it. If a medication is going to damage a baby it is more likely in the early weeks as this is when the baby is forming. In the last weeks of pregnancy it is fully formed and is just maturing and putting on weight.
