Pregnant while receiving intravenous Chinese medicine, what impact does it have on the child?

Patient's question:

Pregnant while taking traditional Chinese medicine. Last month during pregnancy, I received intravenous fluids for half a month due to a cough. What impact will these two things have on the child?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if you take medication in the early stages of pregnancy, it can affect the fetus. It is recommended that you go to the hospital for a check-up. If you catch a cold during pregnancy, it is best to treat it with traditional Chinese medicine. Generally, doctors will advise women with risk signs of prenatal examinations to maintain a balanced diet and avoid spicy, stimulating, and cold foods. Additionally, patients should create an environment that promotes emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
