Welcome!

As with any type of medication taken during pregnancy, it could have a harmful effect on a fetus. There are certain types of antibiotics that will cause harm and others that probably won't. It's best to ask her doctor about it. Ask the doctor to do a blood test to verify whether she is or is not pregnant. A blood test will tell you now.

Here's a link I found with some info.

Good luck to you and your daughter. Your daughter sounds very lucky to have you!

Take care,

Kristin
