As we reported, in Quba, the health of Sabina Amrahova, born in 2003 and pregnant, deteriorated after she was given an antibiotic injection, and she passed away.
Medianews.az reports that regarding the matter, doctor-professor Adil Geybulla gave an explanation to Axar.az.
He noted that strong allergic reactions to antibiotics and other drugs are expected: "Penicillin used to be specifically listed among substances that cause anaphylactic shock."
Sometimes questions arise on how to avoid anaphylactic shock? Unfortunately, there is no successful method for this. The so-called "probing" tests are meaningless because the test itself can cause shock. However, collecting the patient's medical history helps the doctor considerably in their work.
Was the patient given an antibiotic? Does she have allergies? Has she had any allergies to drugs or food? At least these factors help prevent some shocks or reactions. For patients who raise any suspicion, it is necessary to create a desensitizing condition. For this purpose, patients are given "Suprastin," "Dimedrol," and other substances so that the sensitivity in the patient decreases.
On the other hand, hospitals must have "Prednisolone," "Dexamethasone," and other drugs available so that necessary measures can be taken if the patient falls into an anaphylactic shock.
In conclusion, if we have to answer the question "Can an antibiotic be given to a pregnant woman?" the answer is yes, it can. However, which infection or which illness is present should be considered.
If a pregnant woman falls ill, the mother's health must be taken into account first. This is the general principle."
