Patient's question:
Recently, Guangzhou suddenly dropped in temperature, and I caught a cold while feeding the baby. The doctor said my throat was swollen and red to a degree 1, and it was diagnosed as acute tonsillitis. However, I only have symptoms like runny nose and hiccups, no fever or inflammation. Should I take Amoxicillin and Cefalexin? I feel antibiotics are very harmful to the body, so I try to avoid taking them as much as possible. But I need to take care of the little baby, afraid of passing the cold to the child. Is my condition serious? Should I really take medication?Doctor's answer:
If it is suspected to be acute pharyngitis or tonsillitis, and if there is inflammation, it is recommended to take oral antibiotics promptly for treatment. When touching the child, it is essential to wear a mask as much as possible to reduce the possibility of the disease spreading through droplets. It is also recommended to take medication promptly for treatment.The above suggestions are for the question "Recently, Guangzhou suddenly dropped in temperature, and I caught a cold while breastfeeding." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
