Patient's question:
Only three and a half months, I actually got a fever, chills, cough, it's so annoying. I'm so sad about infecting the baby. Every time the baby finishes feeding, I have to ask Grandma to take the baby away. I miss them so much. I want to get better as soon as possible. I don't know if I can take medicine. What kind of help do I need: Can I take Fever Clear Granules while breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
Under the guidance of a doctor, you can take amoxicillin and expectorants and cough medicines that do not contain iodine preparations. At the same time, you should also pay attention to rest, drink more hot water, and avoid getting cold. When you have a fever, you can use physical cooling methods to lower your body temperature. If necessary, under the guidance of a doctor, you can use drugs such as bupleurum injection to lower your body temperature. Common cold medicines include fast-acting cold capsules, cold medicine, Contac, White plus Black, Contaglin, Gan Kang, and Quick etc. Pregnant women should not take cold medicines, especially before the 4th week of pregnancy. Cold medicines are mainly symptomatic drugs that treat symptoms rather than the root cause. They are not safe for pregnant women, so it is recommended that pregnant women avoid taking cold medicines as much as possible.
