What is the probability of an impact on the fetus when taking allergy medication before pregnancy?

Patient's question:

3.26 last menstrual period, 4.26 due to skin allergy, it was pregnancy symptoms but I was unaware, took a dose of medicine prescribed by a doctor for the skin allergy. The next day, 4.27, found out I was pregnant and stopped taking the medicine!

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally, an early pregnancy test can be taken around day 35 of a missed period, or a blood HCG test can be done 10 days after intercourse to confirm pregnancy. After becoming pregnant, it is important to rest and maintain proper nutrition, and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Regular prenatal check-ups should be conducted, such as ultrasound for fetal anomaly screening and Down syndrome screening, etc. Based on the ultrasound results, the fetus is developing normally and is consistent with the actual gestational age. The fetal heart rate and placenta are within the normal range. The maximum depth of amniotic fluid is between 4.0-8.0 cm, which is normal. The amniotic fluid index should be between 8.0 cm and 18 cm, which is considered normal. Just make sure to attend prenatal check-ups on time.
