Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: I am 1 month pregnant. At first, I didn't notice it, but recently I had itching in my private area and used Jie'er Yin for two days. Will it have any effect on the child? I also took two cold medicine pills!Doctor's answer:
Taking medication in the early stages of pregnancy can have a certain impact on the fetus. The specific effects vary from person to person, and the extent of the impact cannot be predicted at this time. If you want to retain the fetus, it is necessary to strictly follow prenatal check-ups. At weeks 14-19, undergo a Down syndrome screening, and at weeks 22-26, have a 4D ultrasound for prenatal anomaly detection. If necessary, at weeks 16-20, undergo amniocentesis and cord blood analysis to determine the baby's development inside the womb. It is recommended to retain the baby and undergo regular prenatal check-ups. If any abnormalities are found in the baby, terminate the pregnancy in a timely manner.
