Scenario 2: If a pregnant woman has a cold and has a fever of over 39 degrees and lasts for more than 3 days.
If a pregnant woman catches a cold within 2 weeks of ovulation, medicine can be used without affecting the fetus.

In this case, the doctor may advise the pregnant woman to terminate the pregnancy.

Medications that are harmful to the fetus should be used with caution, and it is best not to use them as much as possible.
