Is it harmful for pregnant women to take Amoxicillin for the baby?

Patient's question:

Symptom Description: 6 weeks pregnant, cold for 4 days, sore throat, nasal congestion.
Previous Treatment and Effect: Symptoms have improved significantly.
Help Needed: Please ask the doctor if it will affect the fetus.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, medication use 40 days before pregnancy has a "all or none" effect on the fetus. If prenatal check-ups are normal, there is no problem.
Pregnant women are best not to take medication, but in special circumstances, it is acceptable to take Amoxicillin, but it must be at a normal adult dosage. Drink plenty of water after taking it.
It is recommended to supplement with folic acid during the first three months of pregnancy, get adequate rest, maintain a light diet, pay attention to nutrition, and have regular prenatal check-ups. Use medication sparingly during pregnancy. Wishing you and your family good health!
