Patient's question:
I am 23 years old, female, married, and have not had my period for 7 days. I have been tested and confirmed to be pregnant. However, I started taking four packets of White Plus Black (cold medicine) 20 days ago and nine tablets of Niuhuang Jiedu (anti-inflammatory medicine) without knowing if it will affect the fetus~! I have had an abortion once before, but this time I don't want to have an abortion. I don't know what to do this time? I am very anxious. Please help me~!Doctor's answer:
Taking medication in the early stages of pregnancy can have a certain impact on the fetus. The specific effects vary 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 screening. If necessary, at weeks 16-20, undergo amniocentesis and cord blood analysis to determine the baby's development inside the womb. It is recommended to retain the baby and undergo regular prenatal check-ups. If any abnormalities are found in the baby, terminate the pregnancy in a timely manner.
