Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

During my sister's pregnancy, she used a injection containing Benzathine Penicillin 6,00,000 units to alleviate joint pains. Now that her baby is four years old, could this have any potential effects on the child's immune system strength. Kindly provide your insight.
