Patient's question:

During the menstrual period, it is best not to take cold medicine because most cold medicines contain hormone ingredients, which can have a certain impact on a woman's endocrine system. You can take traditional Chinese medicine cold medicine powders as substitutes for antibiotics and persist in exercising regularly. If it is very serious, you can go to the hospital for examination and treatment, or receive intravenous fluids, etc. It is best not to take hormone-based cold medicines.
