What should I do if I get pregnant after taking many medications?

Patient's question:

These past few days, I have had tonsillitis and received injections for six days. The medications I was given included levofloxacin lactate injection, dexamethasone sodium phosphate injection, fever-reducing medication, and cephalexin. After completing the injections, I became pregnant one week later. May I ask if it is okay to keep this child?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, during the three months before pregnancy and the first three months of pregnancy, it is best to stay away from toxic and harmful substances, such as alcohol and medication, which may lead to abnormal embryonic development. It is recommended that you have a Down syndrome screening at 15-20 weeks of pregnancy to check the intellectual development of the fetus, and have a 4D color Doppler ultrasound at 22-26 weeks of pregnancy to check for major malformations and the development of major organs of the fetus.
