Patient's question:
Hello, doctor~ Before realizing I was pregnant, I took cold medicine, which was ＜Day & Night Panadol＞ capsules. I also took ＜Six-Flavor Rehmannia Pill＞. Additionally, because I have a rash on my neck (it looks a bit like heat rash, with small red bumps, and it feels a bit itchy when it's warm), I bought ＜Fu Yan Ning Triamcinolone Acetonide Econazole Cream＞ and ＜Bifencarbazole Gel＞. I'm also using ＜Dr. Li Brand ＜Netting Spot Snow Muscle Li's White Brightening Cream＞, which contains triamcinolone. I don't know what kind of impact these might have on the fetus, or if there will be any effects later when the child grows up. I am 30 years old now, and I'm considering whether to keep the pregnancy or not.Doctor's answer:
There are three situations that absolutely affect babies:1. The use of chemotherapeutic drugs, radiotherapy drugs, and other anti-cancer medications. These drugs can damage cell DNA, severely affecting the baby's growth and development.
2. The use of large amounts of hormone drugs (such as emergency contraceptives). Hormone drugs have a high risk of causing gender abnormalities.
3. Exposure to radiation or radiation therapy.
If it is not one of the three situations mentioned above, it is considered relatively safe to have the baby. In this case, it is necessary to strictly follow prenatal examinations. A prenatal screening test should be conducted between weeks 14 and 19, and a four-dimensional ultrasound for fetal anomaly screening should be performed between weeks 22 and 26. If necessary, an amniocentesis and umbilical cord blood analysis should be done between weeks 16 and 20. This can help determine whether the baby's development is abnormal.
