pregnancy and keflex

hi - i've got infected toenails (yuck). GP sent a referral to podiatry, who may want to remove the nails, and in the meantime started me on Keflex 4x/day for 10 days. its a pregnancy Cat B so should be ok, but anyone know of any problems for the baby while taking it? i'm 28 weeks, just started 3rd trimester. thanks in advance-

I took Keflex when I was pregnant before and it did not harm the baby. Although, I ended up being allergic to it!

Keflex should be fine for the baby.  But, if it is not severely infected...i wouldn't take it.  Removing the corner of the nails would take the infection away almost instantly.  You can apply topical antibiotic ointment (neosporin) and soak the feet in epsom salts and warm water to dry out the infection.
