Patient's question:
I have a cough and a sore throat and haven't dared to take any medicine. My child is now four months old. Can I breastfeed her now? Can I take some medicine? All about breastfeeding. Previous treatment and effectiveness: None. What kind of help I need: I just want to ask, is it necessary to take medicine? Is it for me or the baby to take it? Can I still focus on breastfeeding the baby in this condition?Doctor's answer:
Cough and sore throat are symptoms of upper respiratory infections. Because I was worried about taking medicine while breastfeeding, my suggestion is to take medication to treat your fever. You can take appropriate medication under the guidance of a doctor to treat your fever and drink more hot water. The baby has a cough, runny nose, and a rattling throat, which are also symptoms of respiratory fever. I recommend seeing a doctor early to take medication to prevent a fever.This is the advice for the question "I have a cough and sore throat but haven’t dared to take any medicine." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
