Patient's question:
The child is currently seven and a half months old and still breastfeeding. I want to have a colonoscopy, but the child does not drink formula and needs to be breastfed. What are the precautions for having a colonoscopy during breastfeeding?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I'm glad to help you with your question: According to your description, the colonoscopy revealed inflammation in the intestines. It is recommended to take anti-inflammatory medication, as you are breastfeeding and can only take penicillin-class drugs. Additionally, in terms of diet, try to avoid spicy and fried foods to reduce irritation to the intestines. It's also important to maintain regular bowel movements. Did the doctor prescribe medication for you at the time of treatment?
