Patient's question:
You are 30 days pregnant and took cold medicine containing metronidazole for 20 days, taking it four times. Will it affect the baby? However, you have also been taking folic acid during this period.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, during pregnancy, especially in the early stages, it is best not to take medication. According to your description, you took a cold medicine when you were 20 days pregnant, which may potentially interfere with the fetus, but it is not certain. Therefore, if you plan to keep this child, you must undergo regular prenatal check-ups. It is recommended that you currently just let nature take its course, as the baby has already developed and grown, and the interference is not too significant. So, you can only wait and see after the delivery.
