Question
My wife (40) is at the beginning of her 11th pregnancy (week 5) and has not yet completely finished nursing our one-and-a-half-year-old baby. She is generally healthy but becomes very weak during fasts, even without being pregnant. Currently, she is suffering from a urinary tract infection, and the doctor prescribed her an antibiotic (Cefavit) that needs to be taken with food. Additionally, he warns that she needs to drink at least 2 liters a day. Should she fast?
Answer
Shalom Rav
According to the instructions of the Gaon, Rabbi A. Fried, shlita
Eat and drink as usual.
