there are plenty of antibiotics that are safe for your cousin to take while pregnant that can help treat a urinary tract infection. the doctor will take into consideration many factors such as the term of the pregnancy the type of infection the age and health of the patient possible harm to the fetus and prior experiences with using certain medications during pregnancy. without knowing the exact antibiotic and bacteria that is causing the infection i would not be able to give you an exact recommendation. however in order to prevent harm to the fetus your cousin should be as forthcoming as possible about her pregnancy if it isn’t her ob-gyn prescribing her the medicine.
my cousin is pregnant and has a uti. her doctor put her on an antibiotic for the rest of her pregnancy. is this safe?
