Hello doctor,
I am 31-years-old. I am currently in my seventh month of pregnancy. I got a cough, cold, and fever for two and three days last week; afterward, I got better. Post that, my husband also got a cold and fever. He went to the office, so he tested for COVID-19, and the result was positive. So, I am guessing even I had COVID-19. Now, after my gynecologist heard this, she suggested I take a blood thinner, Ecosporin 75 mg every day until the thirty-fourth week of pregnancy. Should I take this?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I hope you did not develop any severe signs and symptoms of COVID-19. In COVID-19, Aspirin and its analogs do not have any prognostic role. However, oral Rivaroxaban does play a role in preventing and managing low to intermediate grade COVID-19 associated disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Consult your specialist, discuss with them and take medicines with their consent. Please get a D-dimers test before taking an anticoagulant. In the absence of any procoagulant condition, blood thinners should be avoided in the last trimester.

Hello doctor,
I only had cough, sore throat and fever, maximum temperature was 100.8 degree Farenheit. This lasted two to three days. No other symptoms. I will take the test.
Thank you.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
It is good to see that your D-dimer test are though raised, but not significantly raised. However, take Rivaroxaban 10 mg per day for a week as a prophylaxis. Nothing bad is going to happen. No need of further testing if there are no symptoms.
