Did taking medication for tonsillitis before pregnancy affect the child?

Patient's question:

What can be seen from these ultrasounds. Had sex on December 6th, got sick with tonsillitis on the 29th and took medicine, found out I was pregnant on December 15th. Can this child be kept? Seeking opinions!

Doctor's answer:

An ultrasound examination cannot yet determine how medication interferes with fetal growth and development. It can only provide a basic understanding of the gestational sac's growth and development. Based on your ultrasound findings, the gestational sac is developing normally. However, low progesterone levels can interfere with fetal growth and development. Medication under the guidance of a doctor can be used for pregnancy preservation treatment. You previously took medication for one day, which generally does not interfere with fetal growth and development. However, it is advisable to undergo regular prenatal examinations during pregnancy. The above suggestions are in response to the question "What can be seen from these ultrasounds?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
