Does a Newborn Baby Need Medicine?

The baby has been crying and fussing lately, and today it has a runny nose. I have been breastfeeding, but for the past two days, I’ve also had a cold, so I gave the baby formula milk because there’s only me at home. I don’t know if I’ve passed it on to the baby. Should I give the child medicine? In terms of children’s medication, I advocate for: 1) Avoid injections if possible; 2) Use traditional Chinese medicine instead of Western medicine; 3) Absolutely do not use any medication that is marked with specific instructions for children. Generally speaking, newborns do not need to take any medication unless there is a problem found during the child’s examination, in which case the doctor may suggest medication. It is recommended that you consult with a doctor in detail and pay close attention to the specific situation of the newborn.

Does Medication During Pregnancy Affect the Fetus?

Medication has always been a topic of concern for expectant mothers, as many worry about the potential harm it may cause to the fetus and often choose to endure pain without taking medication. However, when dealing with diseases during pregnancy, one should not take extreme measures. In recent years, there have been many reports that some pregnant women are afraid to take medication or are skeptical about the prescriptions given by doctors, leading to not picking up the medication and suffering through their illness, which can severely affect the health of the fetus. In fact, during the first three months of pregnancy, the fetus is in the stage of organ differentiation, development, and formation; after three months, except for the reproductive organs and the central nervous system which continue to develop, most organs have already formed. Therefore, it is a wise choice to avoid using medication as much as possible during the first three months of pregnancy. If you do need medication for treatment, please consult a doctor and follow their instructions. The duration of treatment varies depending on the condition and needs to be determined based on the specific situation.
