Patient's question:
I had an abortion last week. These past few days, I don't know how I got cold, but my cough and runny nose are particularly severe. It seems I might have caught a cold. Since the medicine the hospital prescribed to me hasn't been finished yet, I'm not daring to take any medicine casually. I don't know if I can take cold medicine after an abortion?Doctor's answer:
It is safe to eat, taking cold medicine after a miscarriage has no significant side effects on your body. In your case, it may be due to catching a cold. Since you have just undergone a minor abortion surgery, it is essential to pay close attention to keeping warm and avoid developing postpartum illnesses. Ensure a balanced and comprehensive diet, consuming more protein-rich foods. Strictly avoid sexual intercourse within the first month and prepare for a follow-up examination. Regulate your physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial infections due to weakened immunity.
