Patient's question:
My wife received intravenous drips of clindamycin, levofloxacin, ribavirin, and lincomycin during early pregnancy. Could these medications affect the fetus? The last menstrual period was on January 22nd. We had intercourse on February 8th and 10th. She developed a high fever on the 15th and 16th and received intravenous drips on the 17th. A pregnancy test was taken at that time, which was negative. On the 28th, another pregnancy test was taken, which showed a positive result. Could these medications have a significant impact on the fetus?What kind of help do I need: I hope you can give me the best advice.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, taking medication in the early stages of pregnancy can have a certain impact on the fetus. The specific situation varies from person to person, and the extent of the impact cannot be predicted at this time. If you want to retain the fetus, it is necessary to strictly follow prenatal check-ups. At weeks 14-19, undergo the Down syndrome screening, and at weeks 22-26, have a 4D ultrasound for prenatal anomaly detection. If necessary, at weeks 16-20, undergo amniocentesis and umbilical cord blood analysis to clearly determine the baby's development inside the womb.
