Patient's question:
Hello, I just had a hernia surgery four days ago and I'm a bit coughing now. I'm not feeling very comfortable either. I feel uncomfortable every day. Can I buy many cough medicines outside to take? How to treat a bit of cough after a hernia surgery?Doctor's answer:
You are four days post-hernia surgery and experiencing upper respiratory symptoms. It is acceptable to take oral cough medicine. This is the necessary course of treatment to prevent any factors that increase abdominal pressure. This helps prevent the recurrence of hernia. It is recommended that you use cough medicine and antiviral medications for treatment, which is acceptable. The main focus after hernia surgery is to avoid heavy physical labor within the first three months, as this increases the risk of recurrence. For the patient, if the urological condition is severe, immediate symptomatic treatment should be administered with proper medication. Otherwise, it may lead to a recurrence of the urological condition. Additionally, the patient should pay attention to their diet and psychological care. I hope the answers to these questions can help everyone. Thank you.
