Patient's question:
I had a blood test at 13 and a half weeks of pregnancy. The doctor said my blood count was high and I was given penicillin for three days. After completing the treatment, I had another check-up. At 14 and a half weeks, the blood count was still high, unchanged from the previous test. Could you please explain what causes high blood count and whether it affects the fetus?Doctor's answer:
It's not a big deal, but it needs to be checked regularly. Pregnancy is not a small matter and should not be taken lightly. Don't overthink it to avoid adding to your mental burden, which is not good for the baby. Don't be too nervous—try to relax as much as possible for the baby's health. Pay attention to nutrition and maintain emotional stability. Pay attention to hygiene in daily life. You can use warm water to clean your buttocks every night to avoid bacteria. Make sure to eat less raw, cold, and irritating foods.
