Did doing a chest X-ray in the early stages of pregnancy affect the child?

Patient's question:

June 15th was the last menstrual period, around July 15th I took allergy medication, on the 16th I had a chest X-ray. Thought I didn't have my period and had a bloated stomach, so I took medication for bloating. Around the 27th or 28th of July, I took a toothache medication. On the 31st, I drank a bottle of Zheng Qi and a bottle of Qingdao.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, there is no exclusion of the impact on the fetus, which may lead to miscarriage or malformation. If you want to keep the pregnancy, you need to consider it carefully. Regular prenatal examinations should be conducted, such as ultrasound for anomaly screening and Down syndrome screening, etc. If abnormalities are found, it can be terminated timely. Generally, doctors will advise patients with risk signs of prenatal examination to maintain personal hygiene and avoid sexual activity. Additionally, patients should create an environment that is conducive to emotional stability and stress relief. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
