How long does it take to get pregnant after taking cold medicine?

In daily life, colds are a common disease. If you have a cold, you need to take medicine for timely treatment. Women who are preparing for pregnancy need to pay more attention after taking cold medicines. Some cold medicines may easily affect pregnancy. Generally, you should get pregnant within 1 week after taking cold medicines. Pay more attention to keeping your body warm and try to reduce illness.

How long does it take to get pregnant after taking cold medicine?

You can only get pregnant after taking cold medicine for at least half a month or a month. It also depends on what kind of cold medicine it is. If it is a cold medicine made from proprietary Chinese medicine, such as Isatis Root Granules, Bupleurum Granules, etc., you can continue to be pregnant and it will not have much impact on your body. If you are taking a Western cold medicine, such as Gankang or Contac, you have to wait until the medicine is completely metabolized in the body before you can continue your pregnancy. If you catch a cold during pregnancy, you cannot take medicine casually. You must be very cautious when taking medicine and use it under the correct guidance of a doctor. Drink plenty of water, keep warm and get more rest. You can drink some chicken soup or orange juice or kiwi juice to improve your immunity. Chicken soup can also prevent colds. The diet should be light, nutritious and easy to digest. Avoid spicy or irritating foods, foods that are easily irritating, and foods that are too sweet, too salty or too sour.

Whether a drug has an impact on a child depends not only on the type of drug, but also on the time of use.

The consequences of taking the medicine at different times are different: if the medicine is taken within 1 week after the egg is fertilized, the fertilized egg has not yet implanted in the endometrium and is generally not affected by the medicine; if the medicine is taken within 1-2 weeks after fertilization, the fertilized egg has already implanted in the uterine membrane, but the tissue has not yet differentiated. The effects of the medicine do not cause teratogenicity except miscarriage, so it is a safe period. Therefore, taking some medications before pregnancy or in early pregnancy will not have much impact on the fetus. There is no need to worry too much or have an abortion.

3 to 8 weeks after fertilization (5 to 10 weeks after menopause) is the period of differentiation and formation of the embryo's organs. It is extremely susceptible to external factors such as drugs, which may lead to fetal malformations. This is a "highly sensitive period to teratogenicity." During this period, do not take any medicine unless it is necessary, including general health products and tonic medicines. If the medication is optional or can be temporarily discontinued, then do not use it. If you must take medication, be sure to use it carefully and safely under the guidance of a doctor. If the pregnancy continues, prenatal diagnosis (including B-ultrasound) can be performed between 16 and 20 weeks of pregnancy to further understand the growth and development of the fetus and rule out fetal malformations.

What to eat when pregnant woman has a cold

During the cold period, pregnant women should eat a light diet. It is recommended to eat rice porridge, noodle soup, fresh vegetables and fruits, and avoid eating greasy, cold, sticky, and sour foods such as dumplings, ice products, chocolate, and inferior seafood, and be careful to keep warm. Don't get caught in the rain, drink ice to avoid a second bout of flu.

Whichever method you take, drink plenty of water. Drink more water and urinate more often so that the waste produced by the body's metabolism can be excreted in time, helping pregnant women recover from a cold.

Try not to take any medication during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy. Taking medicine for early colds is bad for the development of the fetus, so it is best not to take it. In fact, the embryo does not stabilize until 12 weeks of gestation. Taking medicine at this time may affect the development of the embryo, but if the cold symptoms seriously affect daily life, you must go to the obstetrics and gynecology department and ask the doctor to prescribe a suitable medicine. Even after 12 weeks, please do not try to take medicine.
