I am a first time mum. I am presently the most scared mother at the moment I am a first time mum. I am presently the most scared mother at the moment because ever since I delivered on the 20th of June . I've gotten different advises from different people on drugs and things to use. I was given Ampiclox at the hospital after she was discharged because her sb test was on the high side 8.9. Recently we conducted another test and she had dropped to a 6.0. My major concern now is that I was told by a pharmacist that she should use the below drugs Nospamin drop or alospamin.Multivitamin drops.and Eucalatis oil. According to the pharmacist, the hospital won't tell us everything. I want to confirm if its necessary to get them before going ahead.

It's very common new mothers get a lot of advice but the only advise that's recommended to follow is your doctor's advice. Don't take any drug prescription if it's not prescribed by your doctor.
