Patient's question:
Cold, no treatment has been received, help wanted: Now that I am pregnant, what method should I use for treatmentDoctor's answer:
Generally speaking, filterable viruses can pass through the mother's placenta and directly enter the fetus's body. Therefore, if the mother becomes infected with a filterable virus, the fetus will also be exposed to the virus. Since colds are caused by filterable virus infections, the baby will also catch a cold along with the mother. However, the specific effects of colds on the fetus remain unclear, and the causal relationship between the filterable virus that causes colds and fetal abnormalities has not been definitively confirmed. Thus, there is no need to worry excessively. Similar to rubella, the early stages of pregnancy are when cell division is most active, and it is also a critical period for fetal organ formation, requiring special attention.
