Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination indicated a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. I'd like to ask if lung infection affects the fetus?Doctor's answer:
Hello, warm welcome for your consultation. Pneumonia is an infectious disease of the lower respiratory tract. If a woman in the second or third trimester of early pregnancy experiences pneumonia again, it generally has little impact on the fetus and there is no need to be overly concerned. If a woman in the early stages of early pregnancy experiences pneumonia again, there is also no need to be overly concerned. Although pneumonia can be caused by various factors such as viral infections, bacterial infections, and mycoplasma infections, it is more commonly caused by bacterial infections. If a pregnant woman experiences other viral infections again in the early stages, such as rubella virus, it may have a certain impact on the fetus. Respiratory infections generally have little impact, but active treatment is necessary to prevent the recurrence of complications.
