What is the problem if you have a fever, cold symptoms, and fatigue after taking birth control pills?

Patient's question:

14 years old, had sex, took birth control pills, then had a fever, a cold. No energy all over, stomach pain. What's going on? Previously, I have taken birth control pills twice, plus this time. In total, three times.

Doctor's answer:

Performing sexual activity after taking birth control pills and experiencing symptoms of fever, cold, and abdominal pain again. In this case, it is recommended not to take birth control pills frequently, as it can cause significant harm to the body, especially to the reproductive system. Currently, with the clinical symptoms of a cold and fever reappearing, you can first use symptomatic treatment with many anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and fever-reducing drugs to see if it resolves. Rest more attention should be paid, and it is mainly recommended not to take birth control pills for a long time, not more than twice a year.
