After taking medication, if you become pregnant, will it cause the child to be deformed?

Patient's question:

Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: On the 15th day after ovulation, I took antibiotic medication for 5 days due to vaginal trichomoniasis, and then discovered I was pregnant. It has been four and a half months now. I am asking whether the previously used antibiotic medication could have an impact on the child, and also whether your hospital offers an ultrasound to check for any deformities or congenital heart disease in the child.

Doctor's answer:

No, it is recommended to regularly check the fetal development. It is advised not to take medication lightly if the condition is not severe. Before taking medication, it is recommended to strictly follow the instructions, as some drugs can affect not only the pregnant woman but also the fetus through the placenta. Therefore, pregnant women should pay attention to the following four points when taking medication: 1. Pay attention to maintaining the pregnancy to prevent miscarriage or premature birth. 2. Pay attention to preventing fetal malformations. 3. Pay attention to the harm to the pregnant woman herself. 4. Pay attention to the toxic and adverse reactions of the fetus.
