What should I do if I have a lot of cough and phlegm after a cesarean section?

Patient's question:

When coughing, the wound hurts especially badly, and it feels like it's about to burst. Please provide help and guidance. Thank you.

Doctor's answer:

Chest X-ray check. If diagnosed with bronchitis or respiratory infection, you can follow medical advice to take anti-inflammatory drugs and lung-cleansing, phlegm-removing medications for symptomatic treatment, such as taking Cefixime capsules and Compound Licorice Oral Solution, etc. Generally, medication should not be taken blindly, and antibiotics should only be taken under the guidance of a doctor to prevent side effects of medication or bacterial resistance. Rest and drink plenty of plain water. For severe cesarean section patients, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and receive treatment based on the doctor's advice. Avoid blindly relying on advertisements for medication to treat the condition, as this may worsen the condition. The above suggestions are for reference only. It is hoped that the above answer can help you. Thank you.
