Patient's question:
These past few days, I've had a cold and have taken Xingqiao Jiedu Pian (Wu Xing Xiao Ke Pian), Ganmao Jiaonang, and anti-inflammatory medication for a sore throat. May I ask if I can have a child right after I recover?Doctor's answer:
From an eugenic perspective, it is recommended to wait at least three months before trying to conceive.Prenatal check-ups: If possible, it is best to have one check-up per month. If circumstances do not permit, targeted check-ups can be conducted. Generally speaking, ultrasound has little impact on the baby and can be performed appropriately. Smoking and alcohol consumption should be avoided during pregnancy and the three months before conception. Prevent colds. If you already have a cold, it is best to postpone pregnancy. In the first three months of pregnancy, take a small dose of folic acid. This is primarily to reduce the occurrence of neural tube defects in the fetus.
