Patient's question:
On October 16th, the first day of the last menstrual period, on October 27th, had sexual intercourse, on November 16th, had a toothache and took two days of metronidazole, a total of 8 pills, on November 18th, had a tooth extraction, took X-rays, had a local anesthetic, and took three days of cephalosporin and one dose of pain reliever. Can the child be kept?Doctor's answer:
According to the symptoms you described, it is generally recommended to avoid taking medications, exposure to chemical substances, and radioactive materials during the first three months of pregnancy to prevent the risk of fetal malformations. However, individual differences and varying constitutions vary from person to person, and this is not the main reason. It is advised to undergo thorough fetal anomaly screening and undergo a Down syndrome screening. Although the side effects of medication are minimal within the first three weeks of pregnancy, since you have undergone dental X-rays, from an eugenic perspective, this fetus should not be preserved.
