Patient's question:
Doctor, my last menstrual period was on 9/20, and I finished work on the 25th. I had sex with my husband from the 1st to the 4th, but I didn't get my period on 10/20. On 10/28, I took a blood test, but it came back negative. The doctor said if I wasn't pregnant, I could take cold medicine. Then, on 11/3 and 11/4, I took levofloxacin hydrochloride. Yesterday, I took a pregnancy test and it came back positive? Can I keep this child?Doctor's answer:
Based on your explanation, it is likely that you took two meals of medication without knowing you were pregnant. This medication is not suitable for pregnant women, but since you only took it two or three times, the issue should not be too serious. Not everyone will be affected by the medication on the fetus just by taking it; there is only a certain probability of impact. Whether to keep the child should be discussed with your family. If you decide to keep it, you should regularly visit the hospital for prenatal check-ups.
