Seek medical attention!  I am not a doctor, but I do know that anytime you are dealing with pregnany and any sort of infection, any side effect you have should be brought to attention by your doctor, especially if you have not had any relief from the medication.  Doctors are there for our benefit whenever we need them.  Never feel scared or like anything is too little to bother your doctor with.  Remember that you are not only caring for you, you are caring for your baby and if your baby was having problems you would probably call your doctor immediately.  Good luck, and best wishes!

You see your doctor right away.

 

Any time a pregnancy is involved, any serious issues like an infection and pain should be taken care of as soon as possible. Whatever information you got from the ER physicians should be taken to your dotor for follow-up care.
