Patient's question:
I just gave birth 11 days ago, and I'm currently breastfeeding. However, I've been a bit down with a cold and coughing these past few days, and I even have a headache today. What kind of medicine can I take? Something that won't interfere with breastfeeding.Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you pay attention to keeping warm to prevent catching a cold. Drink plenty of hot water and eat light, easily digestible foods. You can take fast-acting cold capsules for cold treatment and Amoxicillin or Cephalexin for infection treatment. If the effect is not satisfactory, go to the respiratory department of the hospital for follow-up treatment to standardize the therapy. I hope this helps you. The above advice is for the question "I only gave birth 11 days ago." I hope it is helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
