Patient's question:
Doctor, my wife hasn't had her period this month. We went to the hospital for a thorough check-up and were told she is pregnant. However, my wife got a cold a few days ago and didn't know she was pregnant. She took a few cold medicine pills and isn't sure if it had any effect. Doctor, is it safe to keep the baby if she got pregnant and took cold medicine?Doctor's answer:
You don't need to worry, in fact, the vast majority of medications are safe, and you haven't been taking them long-term or in large quantities. During the nine months of pregnancy, who can guarantee they won't catch a cold, right! During the thorough check-up, the doctor didn't tell you that your baby's growth and development were abnormal, so don't worry blindly. In the early stages of pregnancy, you should take folic acid, and I vaguely remember that you should do all the necessary checks. Additionally, as her husband, you must absolutely not smoke or drink beer anymore to give her a good living environment.
