Patient's question:
I didn't know I was pregnant! As a result of a toothache, I took anti-inflammatory medication for three days, which included metronidazole, diclofenac, and vitamin C. Later, an ultrasound revealed that I was already 45 days pregnant! Is this good for my baby? I'm so worried! My husband also likes to drink a little bit of alcohol sometimes! When I was pregnant with my first child, I even took traditional Chinese medicine for half a month. I don't know what to do!Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to clarify your doubts. Regarding your concerns, here is the specific explanation: The impact of medication during early pregnancy is either "all or none." This means either it has an effect, resulting in a miscarriage, or if there is no miscarriage, the baby is healthy. Therefore, in your case, if the MRI examination is normal and there are no signs of miscarriage, it means everything is fine. Additionally, since you have confirmed the pregnancy, it is recommended that both of you avoid surgery, alcohol, and tobacco, and stay away from any substances harmful to the fetus. The specifics are as mentioned above. I hope this helps.
