What should I do if I take cold medicine one month into my pregnancy?

Everyone should know that at the beginning of pregnancy, the baby in the belly has not yet begun to develop and is very fragile. We need to protect them well so that they can grow up healthily. Moreover, the body resistance of pregnant women is also reduced at this time, so they are more likely to catch a cold. However, pregnant women are not allowed to take medicine casually. So what should you do if you take cold medicine when you are one month pregnant?

1. If you accidentally take cold medicine, you can observe the growth of the fetus through prenatal examination. If the fetus does not develop normally, it is recommended to terminate the pregnancy, but observation must be made first.

2. Drugs can affect or stimulate the fetus's nervous and developmental systems. Therefore, the use of medication can easily cause fetal developmental deformities or damage to the fetal internal organs, leaving sequelae. So can pregnant women take cold medicine in the early stages of pregnancy? It is best not to take medication.

3. There are different types of drugs, some of which can easily pass through the placenta, while others cannot. Penicillins (can be used when necessary if pregnant women are not allergic) and sulfonamide antibiotics, sex hormone preparations, and vitamin A preparations can be easily passed, so it is equivalent to the fetus and the mother taking the same medicine. However, large-molecule thyroid hormone drugs cannot pass through the placenta, so they have no effect on the fetus. Therefore, the answer to whether pregnant women can take cold medicine cannot be generalized.

Generally speaking, almost all Western medicines are prohibited for pregnant women, but some Chinese medicines can be taken when pregnant women have a cold! Such as Isatis Root Granules, Yinqiao Jiedu Pills, etc. Of course, although pregnant women can take cold medicines, the preferred method of treating colds in pregnant women is of course diet therapy.

4. There are indeed many contraindications to taking medicines during pregnancy, but this does not mean that any medicine cannot be used. The effect of medicines on the fetus depends not only on the toxicity and physical and chemical characteristics of the medicines, but is also closely related to the fetal age at the time of use. For the health of the fetus, please seek medical attention in a timely manner and use the medicine correctly under the guidance of a doctor.

At the same time, the medicines for early pregnancy are as follows:

1. Xinyi Folic Acid Tablets: Prevent congenital neural tube defects in the fetus, early pregnancy.

2. Silian Folic Acid Tablets: Prevent congenital neural tube defects in the fetus, early pregnancy.

3. Same as Calcium Folinate Tablets: megaloblastic anemia during pregnancy.

4. Kangnai Multivitamin Capsules (13): Vitamin and mineral supplement for pregnant and lactating women.

After reading this article, I believe everyone should understand what to do if you take cold medicine when you are one month pregnant. This period of pregnancy is a special period, so we must treat it with caution. Pregnant women and babies are also very fragile. If you are really sick, do not take medicine casually. It is best to consult a doctor before receiving treatment.
