Pregnancy cold, cold medicine in the end or not to take it?

The baby is born, the eyes of the man as the same as cataract, which can be terrified of a father, He Yong (a pseudonym), and quickly brought her child to Children's Hospital for help.

Have not had time to take the name of the hospital medical records on the registration form the name is "Yong baby." Born less than a week this little boy, now rely on food for the esophagus. He Yong, a doctor gently rubbing the baby's eyelids open and found the baby's two cornea cloudy, pale, significantly less than the right eye left eye.

"There should be no vision, the situation is very optimistic, which was rare in newborns is." Neonatal physician presentations, He Yong, the baby's eyes are congenital malformations, while suffering from corneal spot, small eyes, cataracts, staphyloma 4 kinds of diseases, surgical options need to be further consultation to determine the child is likely to be blind.

He Yong, 24 years old this year, sentiment is very low. What causes baby deformities? Yong said he and his wife he took to do pre-marital check, but his wife was pregnant in a month notice, immediately went to the hospital for examination, was not detected anything unusual. Health status of pregnant wife is also very good, but more than 8 months pregnant by accident when a cold once, "a cold is not serious, just a runny nose, say a cold during pregnancy do not take medicine, the wife did not dare to take medicine for their teeth , after a couple of days cold enough. Is a result of this factor is it? "He Yong, some doubts.

In this regard, the doctor does not deny he thinks women do not take medicine after a cold, the virus will continue to persist in the body, it is likely damaged cells, the genes, will be planted fetal malformation risk.

The first three months of pregnancy, the most sensitive to drugs

In general, the first three months of pregnancy, fetal development of various organs to form a critical period, but also on various physical, chemical, biological, pharmaceutical and other external adverse factors that stimulate the most sensitive period. This medication must be careful of, or may cause abortion or fetal malformation.

Two weeks after fertilization (ie, menstrual cramps and should be around the next wave of) medication, the impact of drugs on the fetus consistent with "full" or "no" law: that is either seriously affected, end in abortion; either no effect or negligible effect on the embryo continues development, not an exception. The 3 to 10 weeks after fertilization, the embryo development of various organs targeted the most vulnerable to the damage of drugs deformities, so period known as the "teratogenic highly sensitive period." After three months of pregnancy, the possibility of drugs causing decreased fetal malformations, but some drugs late in pregnancy the fetus will have serious adverse effects. Such as the tetracycline class of drugs that may affect fetal bone development, indomethacin may cause premature closure of fetal ductus arteriosus, sulfa drugs may cause neonatal jaundice.

In addition, dosage size, the length of time drug use, have different effects on the fetus. For example, short, small doses of medication may not cause significant effects on the fetus, and long, high-dose drug may cause fetal structural abnormalities, growth retardation, functional defects, premature birth and so on.

Dangerous drugs at five levels

The impact of different drugs on the fetus are different, our country has not given drugs on the fetus during pregnancy and the impact of risk classification. U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) under the drugs on animal and human teratogenic risk of different levels, divided into A, B, c, D, x five levels, which in turn increases risk, relatively speaking, A, B Comparison of drugs during pregnancy safety. However, some drugs are two different risk classification, one commonly used dose levels, and the other is the extraordinary level of dose. In other words, even if the same drug, different dose and time applications, the impact will vary considerably. The pregnancy should be avoided with the D-class, x-class drugs.

Cold medicine during pregnancy Precautions

Easier to cold people, the natural frequency of more medication, must consult your doctor, your doctor's prescription is necessary, so to be able to ease the use of cold medicine. Use of cold medicine or other drugs, should note the following:

Other than taking cold medicine commercial medicine, be sure to get a doctor's permission in advance, even vitamins and nutritional supplements is the same agent is to undergo a doctor's consent before they can use. Anti-histamine medication (including cold medicine) and some have teratogenic effects, therefore, must not be any use.

② Do not take two or more medicines at the same time:

Even get a doctor's permission, nor can because I wanted to get better, and taking two or more medicines, or taking more than prescribed amount. Also, the ban cold medicine and other drugs used together.

③ not taking any analgesic antipyretic drugs:

Some of analgesic antipyretic drugs affect fetal development and growth, not because it is not cold medicine to eat once it does not matter and that any use. These drugs still need a doctor's prescription choice.

④ do not take medicine is harmful:

Some people are very adhere to the "do not take medicine during pregnancy" principle, even if doctor prescribed pills and do not take it. Into the mid-pregnancy, 16 weeks later, almost all fetal organ development has been completed, bringing the fetus of drugs also will reduce a lot of time if necessary, medication can follow doctor's instructions. Another important point is that in the conscious may become pregnant before the 4 to 7 weeks, you have to pay attention to the problem of drug taking, and do not wait until after pregnancy to determine only begin to pay attention.
