Patient's question:
I have been trying to conceive recently. My last menstrual period was on the 8th, and the next one should be around the 7th of next month. However, I have caught a cold and have a fever these past two days. I’m worried that if I get pregnant this month, taking medication will be harmful to the baby. Can I take medication to treat my cold in this situation? Can I take medicine? I have taken 999 Cold Relief and Fritillaria and Loquat Paste for two days, except for Cephalexin.Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you described, it is recommended that you wait before trying to conceive. Taking medication after conception may cause some interference to the fetus. For your current condition, to ensure the health of the fetus, it is advisable to first allow your respiratory infection to heal naturally and then try to conceive 2 months later. The above advice is for the question "I have been trying to conceive recently. My last menstrual period was on the 8th, and I have been having a cold and fever recently. Can I take medication to treat my cold?" I hope this is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
