Asked by Female, 33 · 7 days ago

A total leukocyte count (TLC) of 11,300/cumm at 4 months of pregnancy is usually only mildly raised and can be normal in pregnancy. During pregnancy, the white blood cell count often increases due to hormonal changes, and this does not always indicate an infection. Faronac Tablet (Faropenem) is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections, but it should not be taken without clear medical advice. Its safety in pregnancy is not fully established, so it is only prescribed when the doctor feels it is necessary for a confirmed infection. If you do not have symptoms such as fever, burning urination, persistent cough, or other signs of infection, you may not need antibiotics. It is important to avoid self-medication during pregnancy. Please consult your doctor or gynaecologist, who may repeat tests or investigate the source of infection before deciding on treatment.
