Patient's question:
My older sister got pregnant unexpectedly because she had another sexual encounter without protection with her boyfriend. Now she needs to have an abortion. I was wondering if she can take cold medicine after the abortion?Doctor's answer:
After a miscarriage, there are no more children in the stomach, so it is okay to take cold medicine. During this period, you should also drink more water and get adequate rest. A cold is a self-limiting illness, and it can be fully recovered within about a week. If there is significant vaginal bleeding, you can also take blood-activating and blood-stasis-dispersing medications under the guidance of a doctor, which helps to expel intrauterine blood clots and promotes the complete recovery of the uterus. The above information can be used as a reference.
