Pregnant for a month and took a lot of cold medicine? Is it harmful to the child?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Taking medication in the early stages of pregnancy can have a certain impact on the fetus, and the specific effects vary from person to person. 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 umbilical cord blood analysis to determine the baby's development inside the womb.
