Is it important to take cold medicine two days before pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Now just found out I'm pregnant, but I still took cold medicine before getting pregnant. Just found out about the pregnancy, and a few days before getting pregnant, I took a week's worth of cold medicine tablets. Exclamation mark, and Xinkangkè. Got a few days of small injections, diamine, ribavirin, and jiemycin.

Doctor's answer:

Generally speaking, antiviral drugs are contraindicated after pregnancy as they can affect the fetus.
Advice: Regarding the cold medicine you took, there is no problem; you can take it. However, ribavirin is contraindicated for pregnant women because this medication can cause fetal malformations, posing significant harm. Aminoglycosides may potentially damage the child's auditory nerve, so they are not suitable for pregnant women. However, the risk is generally low, and the impact after receiving an injection for a few days is also minimal. Currently, it can be said that there is no significant issue under normal circumstances.
The first three months of pregnancy are particularly sensitive for fetal development. However, you don’t need to worry too much, as the problem is not very serious. If you really want to have the child, you can consider further amniotic fluid testing after three months. The risk is generally low, and it is usually not a problem.
