Patient's question:
Medical history: A few days after the menstrual period; I didn't pay attention at the time; thought it was menstrual irregularity; later found out I was pregnant; however, I got gastroenteritis on the sixth day of the menstrual period; went to the hospital for injections and medication; Past treatment and effectiveness: On the sixth day of the menstrual period, I went to the hospital to confirm it was gastroenteritis; the doctor prescribed PPA, Compound Huanglian, Compound Jini, and Difenoxin; the injections were Trimethoprim and 654-1. What help do you need: Can the child still be kept using these medications?Doctor's answer:
Taking medication in the early stages of pregnancy may have some impact on the fetus, and the specific extent of the impact cannot be predicted. If you want to keep the fetus, it is recommended to maintain prenatal and postnatal health care, undergo regular prenatal examinations, and closely monitor the development of the fetus. It is suggested that you have a Down syndrome screening between weeks 15 and 20 to assess the intellectual development of the fetus. Additionally, regular prenatal check-ups are necessary to monitor the growth of the gestational sac. If the medication affects the fetus before implantation of the fertilized egg, the impact is either complete or none. In other words, if the gestational sac develops with a fetal heartbeat and bud, it is normal, and there is no need to worry excessively.
