Regarding blood tests, did taking medication for a cold during the first month of pregnancy have an impact?

Patient's question:

Absolute neutrophil count: 7.88 (2.1-7.8)
Neutrophil percentage: 79.6 (50-75)
Lymphocyte percentage: 14.2 (25-45)
Mean corpuscular hemoglobin: 31.8 (27-31)
Other items are normal. I am now two months pregnant and wondering if it has any impact. First follow-up question: I had a cold and took medication one month ago, and then the test showed positive for cytomegalovirus. There’s nothing else.

Doctor's answer:

Taking medication in the early stages of pregnancy can have a certain impact on the fetus. In this case, it is necessary to strictly conduct prenatal examinations. At weeks 14-19, undergo the Down syndrome screening, and at weeks 22-26, have a 4D color Doppler ultrasound for prenatal anomaly detection. If necessary, at weeks 16-20, undergo amniocentesis and cord blood analysis to clearly determine the baby's development inside the uterus.
