Patient's question:
A while ago, I went to the hospital for a medication-induced abortion procedure. Recently, I've been resting at home and haven't been to work. However, I've noticed that I might have a cold—my head is hurting badly, and my whole body is aching. What should I do if I get a cold during the medication-induced abortion period?Doctor's answer:
The common cold is caused by viral transmission. It is recommended to take oral antiviral medications and cold medicine for symptomatic treatment. During this period, avoid extremely cold and overly stimulating foods. Drinking more warm water can help boost the body's metabolic processes. If you have a fever, it is necessary to take fever-reducing medication at the same time. If you have a cough, take lung-cleansing and blood-cooling medications for symptomatic treatment. Avoid getting cold and prevent discomfort.
