Patient's question:
My boyfriend came to see me yesterday. I was still taking cold medicine at that time, but I couldn't resist the temptation and had sex. I want to ask the doctor what will happen if I have sex again while my cold and cough haven't improved? Will it be contagious to the other person? Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
During the course of taking oral cold medication, if sexual activity is engaged in, and the body has a substantial viral infection, without using condoms for protection during sexual contact, there is a possibility of transmitting it to the other person. It is advisable to relax, drink more hot water, and get adequate rest. Additionally, whether it is the ovulation period or the safe period, without using breastfeeding as a protective measure, there is still a possibility of pregnancy. Actively participate in physical exercise to regulate physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene.
