Pregnant for 8 months, having diarrhea and taking medicine is good for the baby?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. I'm asking if it's okay for a pregnant woman to take medicine for diarrhea at the 8th month of pregnancy.

Doctor's answer:

What you described may be gastroenteritis. It can be treated with Huoxiang Zhengqi pills and norfloxacin capsules. It's important to drink plenty of water and maintain electrolyte balance. In severe cases, consider fluid supplementation.
Your condition may be caused by a viral infection, for which there is no specific treatment. The main approach is supportive therapy and symptomatic treatment. Traditional Chinese medicine can be used, as herbal remedies may have some efficacy in reducing symptoms of viral diseases and shortening the course of illness.
