Hello! Acyclovir crosses the placental barrier and is present in breast milk. You can still breastfeed your baby, but you should observe your baby, if your baby is fussy, vomiting a lot, you should stop breastfeeding during the period of taking Acyclovir.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards.

Hello doctor. I want to ask the doctor, we just got married and had sex without using any protection, and after a while I wanted to take my wife to get the HPV vaccine for cervical cancer, and I took my wife to do a pregnancy test and there was no sign of anything, and I decided to take my wife to get the HPV vaccine for cervical cancer, and after 1 month of the injection, my wife had a late period, and I asked the doctor at the injection site and the doctor said it might be because the injection was messed up, and continued to get the flu vaccine before getting pregnant, and a few days later I tested my wife and there were 2 lines, and I took my wife for an ultrasound, the doctor said it was 4 weeks and 4 days, I was so worried, I couldn't eat or sleep since that day, my wife got the first shot, doctor, can you tell me if the two vaccines for cervical cancer and flu affect the fetus, I hope the doctor will let me know and what I should do What is it, doctor, please tell me honestly, thank you!
