What should I do if I have a small amount of bleeding due to taking cold medicine orally during pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Age
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose:
I had my period on the 6th of last month, and on the 10th of this month, I was diagnosed with pregnancy after a check-up. Around the 25th, I had a cold and took "Tylenol" cold medicine three times. Now I have mild abdominal bloating and a little spotting, which is very light in color. I want to know what to do?

Doctor's answer:

Currently, three situations have been identified that absolutely affect the baby: First, the use of chemotherapy, radiotherapy drugs, and other anti-cancer medications, which can damage the DNA of cells and severely affect the baby's growth and development; second, the use of large amounts of hormone drugs (such as some emergency contraceptives), as hormone drugs have a high risk of causing sexual abnormalities; third, exposure to radiation or radiation therapy. It has no effect if vaginal bleeding occurs after taking cold medicine.
