If a pregnant took augmentin on her 8month by the time she has high allergie from ampeciline&she was unable to breath&her oxygene reach 15& she didnt deliver directly,is the baby brain wl be affected?

Dr. Judy Matta Pediatrics
Severe allergic reaction or anaphylaxis is characterized by rash and swelling, difficulty breathing, and even low blood pressure. Low blood pressure in the mother can lead to low blood flow to vital organs in the fetus, especially the brain. If blood flow to the fetus is reduced for more than 5 minutes, there is a higher probability of anoxic brain injury.

Not necessarily. Although the mother went into allergic reaction and oxygen in her blood could have dropped a lot, but this doesn't mean that the baby's brain will be affected. It also depends how much did the oxygen drop and for how long, how was the blood pressure at the time.
