After recently coming to the outpatient clinic for consultation about COVID-19 infection during pregnancy, many couples were taking medication for treatment. Everyone was extremely anxious, and even more worried about the health of the fetus. Today, we will briefly summarize everyone’s concerns from the perspective of professional Chinese and Western medicine for reproduction.
1. COVID-19 infection after pregnancy must be treated in time, and don’t “bear it” because you are worried about taking medication.
In fact, the impact of virus on the fetus is often much greater than the impact of drugs on the fetus. The benefits of standard treatment as early as possible far outweigh the risks.
2. For COVID-19 fever medication, 38.5℃ is a watershed.
When the temperature is lower than 38.5℃, you can physically cool down or observe it, or you can use Chinese patent medicines to clear away heat, detoxify, and reduce fever. Once it exceeds 38.5℃, timely medication is required to cool it down.
3, "acetaminophen" suspension or tablets are the first-line medicine for reducing fever in pregnant women and can be taken with confidence.
If there is no acetaminophen preparation, you can use ibuprofen suspension, ibuprofen tablets or diclofenac sodium " emergency fever reduction ", but do not use it repeatedly.
4, "acetaminophen compound preparation" should be used with caution.
Because many compound preparations contain anti-allergic, antitussive, and sedative Western medicine ingredients, these medicines may have adverse effects on the fetus.
5. The antiviral drug Ribavirin is prohibited during pregnancy.
Ribavirin has clear embryonic lethality and is a clinically prohibited drug during pregnancy.
Note: After taking this product, strict contraception is required for 6 months before you can prepare for pregnancy.
6. "Coughing" after being infected with new coronavirus in late pregnancy is a big problem.
A long and severe cough can easily cause premature rupture of amniotic fluid or even premature delivery. Therefore, once you have a persistent cough, it is recommended to go to the respiratory department to rule out respiratory tract infection , and take anti-infection and phlegm-reducing drugs under the guidance of a doctor if necessary. It is safe to take cephalosporin and penicillin preparations during pregnancy (except for those with allergies).
7. For COVID-19 and influenza infections during pregnancy, you can take heat-clearing and detoxifying proprietary Chinese medicines throughout the disease period.
For example, Sanjiu Ganmao Granules, Lianhua Qingwen Granules, Qingkailing Granules , Pudilan Oral Liquid, etc. have no effect on the fetus or the pregnant woman herself. Chinese patent medicine preparations are of great help in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.
8. If fever or cough due to COVID-19 infection is severe and antipyretics or phlegm-reducing and cough-relieving drugs are not very effective, it is recommended to take oral Chinese herbal decoction for treatment.
Traditional Chinese medicine decoction is very effective and effective when the syndrome differentiation is accurate. And since most Chinese herbal medicines are natural plants, they will have no significant impact on pregnant women and fetuses if they are carefully selected.
9. Don’t worry too much that medication will affect the fetus too much.
In fact, even if no medication is taken during pregnancy, the fetus is still at risk of various risks. We cannot "hidden the problems of and ignored the treatment of "! Many drugs are actually safe when used under the guidance of professional doctors.
