Patient's question:
Three months pregnant, then got a cold, sore throat, and haven't been feeling well. Because I'm pregnant, I've been afraid to take medicine. I'm wondering if this cold could cause a deformed baby?Doctor's answer:
I have a cold and a sore throat, which makes the chances of having a malformed fetus very low. However, there's no need to worry. If there are no other particularly obvious symptoms, it's best to drink more water and get more rest. Most cold and cough medications are not suitable for pregnant women. Alternatively, you can visit the respiratory department for a few more consultations to see if there's a need for treatment. Most cases are nothing serious, but it's still best to be cautious.
