Patient's question:
I had an abortion about half a month ago and got a cold. Then I ate chicken, and now I'm feeling cold and sore all over. Can I make some ginger tea at home to help expel the cold? After drinking it, can I cover myself with a blanket?Doctor's answer:
You got a cold after the abortion, mainly caused by a viral infection leading to upper respiratory tract infection symptoms. Drink plenty of water, get plenty of rest, and focus on a light and easily digestible diet. If necessary, have a blood test performed. Based on the results, use medication reasonably and provide symptomatic treatment. In fact, under normal circumstances, undergoing any type of abortion can cause certain harm to the pregnant woman. Therefore, patients should pay attention to nursing and health care. Abortion patients should pay attention to self-care, such as keeping warm and avoiding contact with cold water.
