Does taking cold medicine during early pregnancy have any effect?

Taking cold medicine in the early pregnancy will have some impact on the fetus, because the medicine has some toxic side effects. Taking cold medicine in the early pregnancy can cause embryo toxicity, so you cannot abuse some medicines after pregnancy. After catching a cold in the early pregnancy, you must go to the hospital for examination and treatment to avoid some adverse effects on the baby. Women should be careful to avoid catching a cold in the early stages of pregnancy, and should add or remove clothing according to changes in temperature.

It is not that you cannot take medicine during pregnancy. Whether to take medication during pregnancy should be decided after weighing the pros and cons. If the impact of the disease on the mother and fetus is greater than the impact of the medication, then of course it should be used, but attention should be paid to the time and type of medication.

The first three months are the period of fetal organ differentiation, which is very sensitive. Taking cold medicine in early pregnancy can easily cause fetal malformation. Generally, medication should be avoided as much as possible. If you are already 14 weeks pregnant, if you have severe sore throat, inflamed tonsils, and a routine blood test shows high white blood cell count, you can use penicillin or cephalosporin anti-inflammatory drugs. In addition, medicines such as Isatis root and cold granules can also be used.

Traditional Chinese medicine can effectively control the cold virus and is non-toxic. Therefore, it is best for pregnant women to use Chinese patent medicine for colds. Ganmao Qingre Granules are Chinese patent medicines and pregnant women can take them. Pay attention to rest, drink plenty of boiled water, keep warm, and keep the house well ventilated.

After pregnancy, pregnancy reactions will occur and the body's resistance will drop significantly. If you are not careful, you will easily catch a cold. Because of concerns that medication and colds will have adverse effects on the fetus, pregnant women don’t know whether they should take medication for treatment. Generally speaking, mild colds that only cause sneezing, runny nose and coughing do not require treatment. Just pay more attention to rest and drink more water, and you will get better soon.
