Patient's question:
Pregnant woman at 25 weeks. Fetus is more than 6 months and a few days. Had a cold for a week. First, had a runny nose, nose-blowing caused skin to break, then dry cough with phlegm, tonsillitis with redness, swelling, and pain. Tolerated it for 4 days, drinking plain water to prevent cold, but still not getting better. Throat pain is so severe that it's hard to sleep. Don't even dare to speak when in pain. Went to the township hospital to see an OB/GYN doctor. Prescribed 2 types of medicine. Also recommended taking Amoxicillin, but worried about its harm to the fetus. Bought Amoxicillin granules for children myself. In the morning of the 2nd, took 2 packs of medicine prescribed by the doctor. Haven't used the Amoxicillin granules yet. Doctors, how can I take it with peace of mind? If taking the children's granules for a long time, the effect may not be good. Worried about harm to the fetus. Decided to go for an intravenous saline drip for a faster recovery. How should it be treated??Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, you are currently in the sixth month of pregnancy and have experienced a cold again. In the second trimester, the fetus's basic growth and development are generally completed, and the interference from appropriate medication on the fetus is not too significant. Moreover, the virus causing the cold can also have a relatively large impact on the fetus, so it is recommended to actively use medication to treat it. It is best to go to the hospital for a thorough examination of blood tests and C-reactive protein to determine whether it is a viral or bacterial infection. During pregnancy, oral medications such as Amoxicillin capsules and Shuanghuanglian oral liquid can be taken.
