Doctors worry President Trump's message of "tough it out" will harm women and their babies, as high fever and severe pain can be dangerous during pregnancy.

The Health Sciences Authority (HSA) said in a media release on Friday (Sept 26) that there is "currently no robust scientific evidence" to support the link between the use of paracetamol during pregnancy and autism in children.

D onald Trump has urged pregnant women not to take acetaminophen, also known as Tylenol or paracetamol. He claimed it raises the chances of children being autistic. But the US president has been condemned by experts from across the world, who fear he is deliberately fostering a narrative of distrust that could be dangerous for women.

Health organizations from around the globe are joining the chorus of experts rejecting the Trump administration's claim that acetaminophen during pregnancy can be associated with an increased risk of autism.

Donald Trump said his administration is linking Tylenol’s active ingredient to autism and is advising pregnant women to avoid the drug.

She said: "It [paracetamol] is safe to use in children, babies, expecting mothers and we are all concerned about the claims that have been recently made." Ms Malik, who was also elected as a deputy for Guernsey in June, said paracetamol was the safest option to use when it is needed for the shortest duration of time.

Donald Trump used a White House press conference billed as revealing new findings on autism to insist that acetaminophen -- also known by the brand name Tylenol -- is unsafe to take during pregnancy.
