Patient's question:
For a week, I had a sore throat and coughed with yellow phlegm. On January 12th, I gave birth to a baby naturally, and now I'm breastfeeding while doing postpartum recovery. Can I take anti-inflammatory medication?Doctor's answer:
Your current condition, if you have a cough with yellow phlegm, indicates inflammation. If the symptoms are severe, you may have to use many anti-inflammatory drugs that are not harmful to children. Since you are in the postpartum period, it is best to consult your attending physician when taking medication to confirm the dosage and duration of use based on your physical condition. At the same time, you can take lung-cleansing and phlegm-expelling medications, such as syrup.
