Just pregnant with nephritis, received cephalexin, can the child be kept?

Patient's question:

Got pyelonephritis and took ceftriaxone for thirteen days. When discharged, I was carefully checked and found to be pregnant. Can I keep this child? The last menstrual period was on October 21, and I was admitted to the hospital on November 10.

Doctor's answer:

From the perspective of eugenics, in this case, it is best to temporarily avoid having this child. After all, during the period of illness, the human body's immunity is relatively weak, and the use of many medications may potentially have some impact on the embryonic tissue. For the sake of eugenics, it is better to consider temporarily not having this child. Moreover, some medications during pregnancy may be harmful to the child.
