What should I do if I have gastroenteritis and am taking medication while pregnant?

Patient's question:

Pregnant for 42 days, took two days of Huanglian and Lactic Acid Bacteria Tablets for gastroenteritis. What should I do about taking medication for gastroenteritis during pregnancy?

Doctor's answer:

Eating less, it can only be said that the impact probability is not great, and it is necessary to pay more attention and do well with pregnancy checks. The effect of drugs on the fetus is related to the gestational age. The embryonic period (pregnancy weeks 2-8) is the most sensitive to drugs, which means that during the early pregnancy, taking medication should be done with extra caution. From week 3 to 3 months of pregnancy, it is the period of organ formation in the embryo, and the fetus is highly sensitive to the effects of drugs. Clinical diagnostic surveys have confirmed that certain drugs can lead to fetal malformations or premature birth. Gastroenteritis is a disease that is not easily relieved.
