Patient's question:
Breastfeeding cough for four days now. The first two days had no phlegm, but today there is yellow phlegm, but not much. Four months into breastfeeding, no medication today. Can I change the diaper? X-ray shows no lung issues, urine test indicates Mycoplasma infection causing the cough?Doctor's answer:
This yellow sputum indicates a bacterial infection. Changing diapers is not a major issue, but avoid close contact with the child after feeding to prevent transmission. Based on your description, it is recommended that you interrupt breastfeeding for a few days and take antibiotics promptly under the guidance of a respiratory medicine doctor to suppress the infection. Drink plenty of water and get plenty of rest in these days. The above advice is for the question "How to treat a cough for four days during breastfeeding, with no sputum in the first two days?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
